Lingo, James--------------------Pen. 247---------------------1787-1795
Army of the United States
Essex County

Widow: Caty, 3 children


   I do with the advice of the Council hereby certify that Caty Lingo, widow of 
James Lingo, late a private in the Army of the United States, and who died in 
the service of the United States, is continued on the list of pensioners with an 
allowance of 10 pounds yearly, commencing from the first of Jan. 1790.  Given 
under my hand as Governor of the Commonwealth of VA, at Richmond, this 5th day 
June, 1793.
  Signed: Henry Lee
 Teste: Sam'l Coleman

   Essex June Court 1787:   The Court order it be certified that Caty Lingo is 
the widow of James Lingo, formerly a solder in the continental Army, who was 
killed at the Siege of ninety five  (this does not make sense to the transcriber 
that he was killed in 95 unless that was the name of the battle), as appears by 
the testimpony of Williamson Hardy who deposed he saw the said Lingo after he 
was killed--that the said late Lingo had three small children was in indigent 
circumstance.  It also appears from the testimony of Dr. Mars Conerts that said 
Lingo was a soldier at the siege and was returned killed.
