DeGraffenreidt, Tschaner (DeGraffenreed, Ischamer)      Pen. 116     1787-1809
Serjeant, Col. Bufords Detachment
Lunenberg County

September 25 1809:  I hereby certify that I became acquainted with Tschaner 
DeGraffenreidt in the spring 1779 and continued with him till the time of 
Bufort's Defeat in May 29 1780 at which time were were paroled and if exchanged 
I do not know it.  Given under my hand as above  Signed: Jn Crute 

  I hereby cetify that Tschaner Degraffenreidt was a soldier in the Army-
Continental Army 1776. Signed: ? ? Simon? Capt. in the 6th Va Regiment

    I do certify that I have examined the wounds of Tscharner Degraffenreidt jr. 
of the County of Lunenberg said to have been received in the battle between the 
troops of America and Britian in the _____ settlement between Col. Buford and 
Col. Tarlton (I commonly called Buford's Defeat) and it is my opinion that the 
said wounds render the said Tscharner Degraffenreidt  incapable of obtaining his 
livelihood by manual labor.  Given under my hand this 22nd day of December 1787  
Signed: Clark Sanford


    I do with the advice of Council hereby certify that Tschaner DeGraffenreidt, 
aged about 35 years, late a Serjeant in the detachment of the Virginia Line 
commanded by Abraham Buford, appears to have been disabled in such a manner 
while in the service of the United States by several dangerous wounds both in 
his body, head and arms as to entitle him to the sum of eighteen pounds yearly; 
which allowance is accordingly made him, to commence from the first day of 
January 1782.  Given under my hand as Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, 
at Richmond, this 15th day of June 1782.  
T. Meriwether                                    Signed: Edm: Randolph
