Albemarle old Court house mentioned within, is the place where British prisoners were guarded by Militia. This office cannot decide without further evidence whether applicant was a militia man or regular. The deposition of 2 witnesses certified to be credible, proving the length of service required by the law will be satisfactory, if on continen- tal establishment.

Dear Sir:
Will you please be so kind as to furnish me with copy of Pension Certificate #15318 granted October 20, 1818 to one of my ancestors William Hale of Richmond Co., Virginia.
I am desirous of obtaining if possible as much information as to his Revolutionary War record as may be available. I have a copy of his sworn statement which is on record at the Court at Montrose, Westmoreland Co., Va. where he appeared personally the 26th day of June 1820 petitioning for a pension. It appears that although he was granted a certificate October 20, 1818 he had never been able to obtain any of the rights due him under the certificate of that date.
My purpose is not to run down any land grant or other remuneration which might have been due him but merely to obtain as much information as is available regarding my own family.
Thanking you for the copy of certificate and any further information which may be on file, I am
Yours very truly,
Allan C. Hale
