[D] [undecipherable] To the United States to the Credit of [undecipherable] Buckley [late] of [M?] [Co's?] of [Lee's?] Legion [C] Has been on Dragoon from 1 August 177[8] to 31 December 179[0] [undecipherable] Months at [undecipherable] Dollars p^r Month By annual pay from [undecipherable] 1779 By [undecipherable] for the Years 1779 [undecipherable] [undecipherable] 1781 [undecipherable] By [undecipherable] to be [undecipherable] on [undecipherable] from [undecipherable] 81 By [undecipherable] to be [Credited?] on [undecipherable] from [undecipherable] 77/1 153/22 241/66 38/33 By [undecipherable] to be brought to [account?] from July 12. 1781 Accountants Office January 7 1793 [signature] [undecipherable] [undecipherable] of the Treasury [signature] 241/66 | 38.33 [undecipherable: Auditor of the Treasury] [signature] By the Certificate it would appear that Buckley was killed in [undecipherable] October, to ascertain this fact I have applied to General Sumter who I find commanded the detachment at Quinby Bridge, or on the Lines near Charleston — the General informed me that he believes the skirmish happened in July, but by recurring to Ramsay's History it would appear — I find M^cRamsay Vol 2 mentions that on the 12^th July 1781 General Sumter & Marion with the Legion made several successful attacks on the Enemy & penetrated to the Vicinity of Charleston S.C. I have therefore admitted the pay of Buckley to the said 12 July 1783, supposing that to be on or about the day of his Death. [No 87] [James Buckley] [his Rear Legion] [Jan 4^th 1793]
