On examination of the bearer  who calls himself Joseph Sandidge find a ball has 
broken the left arm about halfway between the shoulder and elbow and in some 
measure has disabled in that arm--am therefore of the opinion should he have 
testimony of receiving the salary of Publick services that some  allowance ought 
to be made him by being placed on the pension list.
  Wm. Foushes, surgeon  13 May  1788

*****received his wound at Battle of Brandywine under command of Col. B. Bucknes 
in Captain Jacob's Company; he was between 35-40 years of age.
  Note by John Nelson Clk.

I do with the advice of Council hereby certify that Joseph Sandidge of Louisa 
County, aged  about 35 years, late a private in the 6th Virginia Regiment 
appears to have been disabled in such a manner while in the service of the 
United States that he is allowed the sum of ten pounds yearly, to commence from 
the first day of January 1786.  Given under my hand as Governor of the 
Commonwealth of Virginia, at Richmond, this 1st  day of May 1786. 
                          Signed: P. Henry 

****Joseph had problems with his arm where "it discharged very greatly and his 
employer then got another man to supply his place" as written by Dr. Armistead 
on May 12, 1789.  (document hard to read, but document called him William Joseph 
Sandidge.


Had received 10 pounds yearly, but was augmented to 15 pounds yearly in 1789.
