Dent, Arthur                     Pen. 117                 1786-1798
Soldier, 1st Virginia Regiment (French and Indian War)
Frederick County


Frederick County: July 29 1786:  I have this day examined the wounds of Arthur 
Dent, and do certify that he appears to have been injured by a musquet ball 
having entered through his right shoulder and in his right thigh-his wounds are 
all quite healed but an apparent inability still remains in his right arm.   
Com? Baldwin

     I do with the advice of Council hereby certify that Arthur Dent, aged about 
74years, late a private in the 1st Regiment, appears to have been wounded in the 
war before the last while in the service of the United States as to entitle him 
to the sum of eight pounds yearly; which allowance is accordingly made him, to 
commence from the first day of January 1786.  Given under my hand as Governor of 
the Commonwealth of Virginia, at Richmond, this 22nd day of February 1787.  
T. Meriwether                                        Signed: Edm: Randolph
