From the peculiar circumstances of Benjamin Wilson a soldier
who was discharged from the Invalid Regiment the 15th September
1782 who formerly belonged to Colo Hazens Regiment and Hugh
MoCoy of the German Regiment discharged from the Invalid Regi-
ment the 15th Septr 1782 and were Citizens of this State it being
impossible for them to obtain Certificates required by Law. The
Board are of opinion that the Commissioner for settling and ad-
justing the Accounts of the Troops &ca ought to grant them Certif-
icates for their Depreciation to August 1780, taking their own
Oaths; there being no other way of ascertaining it, for the Time
when they enlisted. —
