This may certify that John Herron of Lyne aged thirty nine years was an enlisted Soldier in Capt. Eliphalet Holmes Company in the first Connecticut Regiment in the Continental Army for the term of three years. That while he was in said Service at Valley-forge in the year 1778, and while on duty, received a wound by the accidental fall of some boards that the Carpenters were making use of, on the small of his back and hip, which so disabled him that he was afterwards discharged on account thereof, and hath ever since continued in a disabled state, and is a proper subject of compensation from the public - am therefore of opinion, that he ought to receive from the United States the sum of six pounds lawful money per annum, during the continuance of his said disability.
