   I certify on honor that the company of Mounted Volunteers under the 
immediate command of Captain Joseph Napier, was organized for temporary 
purposes on July 19, 1832, by the advice and consent of Major-General 
Scott, for the protection of the frontier in Cook connty, State of 
Illinois, which organization was recommended and approved by the said 
Major-General Scott (In consequence of the importance of mustering two 
companies out of service which constituted a 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 Edwardsvllie, August 19, 1833.
           (Signed.)                        N. BUCKMASTER,
                                                    Major Commanding.

   I certify that, at the time mentioned In the muster roll of Capt. Joseph 
Napier'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 certificate of Major 
Buckmaster and Capt. Napier, I have no doubt said company served as stated in 
said roll; and I further state 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.

   I further certify that the United States furnished no forage for the within 
company, and the said company was in service when I was mustered out of service 
on August 13, 1832.
                 (Signed.)                      N. BUCKMASTER,
                                                   Major Commanding.
