Auditors Office May 13. 1830.
Dear Sir,
I duly received yours of the 7 inst, and should have answered it sooner, but for the difficulty of obtaining the information which you requested concerning Geo: Greenway. The Records of this office show that he received a Certificate for his depreciation as an officer in the Virginia line on Continental establishment, and the Land office furnishes proof of his having drawn warrants for land bounty amounting to 2666 2 / 3 acres. I have had to search the Executive Chamber for proof of the period  length of time he served as an officer and by his own affidavit which is filed there it appears that he became Supernumerary as early as 1777. —
If you wish it I can have a copy of the affidavit certified by the clerk of the Council
Yours with much esteem and respect.
J. E. Heath
