July 23, 1832 I certify on honor that the company of Mounted Volunteers, under the immediate command of Capt. Holden Selssion, was organized for temporary purposes on the 23d of July, 1832, by the advice and consent of Major-General Scott, for the protection of the frontier, in Cook county, State of Illinois. Which organization was recommended and approved by the said Major General Scott (in consequence of the mustering two companies out of service which constituted part of the guard for the protection of that frontier under my command); that this organization was necessary for the protection of the frontier; that said company should be in service, and that they did actually perform the service, as mentioned in said roll, up to the 13th of August, 1832, under my command as Major of an Odd Battalion, wherein said company formed a part. Given under my hand, at Edwardsville, August 19, 1833. (Signed.) N. BUCKMASTER, Major Commanding. I certify that, at the time mentioned in the muster roll of Capt. Seission's Company of Mounted Volunteers, the above named Nathaniel Buckmaster was legally acting as Major in an Odd Battalion, including said company, and commissioned by me in that office, and, judging from the certificates of the said Major Buckmaster and Capt. Seission, I have no doubt said company served as stated in said roll; and I state further, that the service of said company was necessary in the defense of the country, as stated above. (Signed.) JOHN REYNOLDS, Governor, and Commander-in-Chief Illinois Militia. August 20, 1833.
