Settled in pursuance of an Act of the first Session of the second Congress of the United States passed the 27th March last
Christian House was Inlisted the 6th April 1777 for the War, and is mustered Prisoner on the 23d July 1779 — as I am not possessed of the evidence of the return of this Man from Captivity, tho' often Inform'd that the Party who were taken on that day returned sometime after the Peace, I submit the whole claim on the Merits of Lieut Scudder's Certificate, which I have always call'd for as the evidence on which to found a claim. —
