I do certify that Joseph Sears enlisted in the 1st Va. Regt. of Light Dragoons 
in March 1780-was wounded at Lenoos? Ferry the ninth day of May following which 
rendered him incapable of serving after that and that he received no pay for the 
time he served, he enlisted for the war.

I do with the advice of Council certify that Joseph Sears aged about 26 years, 
late a private in the 1st Virginia Regiment of Light Dragoons was disabled in 
such a manner by two wounds, one in his knee and one in his shoulder while in 
the service of the United States as to entitle him to the sum of ten pounds 
yearly, commencing on the first day of January 1786.  Given under my hand at 
Richmond, this 9th day of January 1787.
