MILITARY SERVICES.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA—New Hanover County. 
These are to Certify, That the late General James Moore was, in the year 1776, 
promoted by Congress to the rank of Brigadier General in the army of the 
United States, in whose service he continued to act till about the last of 
April, 1777, when he died when he was preparing to join General Washington 
with the Continental troops of this State; that his wife died in a few months 
after him, and that he left four children, three of whom are now living in 
this State and the fourth is supposed to be living in Scotland, where he was 
sent for education, and that I am their legal representative, being the only 
surviving executor appointed by the will of the said General James Moore.
