Disability-Application For Allowance
Twiggs County, State of Georgia
 William Chance states that he is a citizen of said state and has been since 17 Sep
1836, that he enlisted in military service in the CSA as a Private in Company I of
the 6th Regiment of Georgia Volunteers and while engaged in miltary service, at the
battle of  ____ up at Petersburg in the state of Virginia in July 1864, he was
wounded by a grape shot entering the right shoulder, fracturing the shoulder blade
and collar bone and lodging in right lung. Said wound producing asthma of a much
aggravating kind and labored breathing together with shortness of breath as to
render applicant substantially and essentially incapable of normal labors. Also, the
right arm has since been emaciated and helpless to a degree to render it
substantially and essentially useless.
