 I do with the advice of the Council hereby certify that Jemima Howell, widow of 
George Howell, who was a private in the Virginia Regiment and died in the 
service of the United States is entitled to the sum of ten pounds yearly: to 
commence from the 1st day of January 1787.  Given  under my hand as Governor of 
the Commonwealth of Virginia, at Richmond, this 25th day of January, 1787.  
T. Meriwether                            Signed: Edm: Randolph


On May 6, 1828, Jemima Howell's last will and testament named George Hatfield, 
her grandson, as her executor; unfortunately the transcriber could not make out 
the details of her estate--the writing was light and hard to read.

September 2, 1830--Jemima departed this life.
