Point Pleasant   1774       Knox County

***transcriber's Note:  Documents illegible except in places.  Wounds in left 
hand and right wrist.  Could not glean the rank, though suspect it was high by 
the pension amounts of $100 two times and the remaining amounts of $50 dollars 
annually.  Letters ascribe his wounds to the Battle of Point Pleasant.  James 
Casby and John Leach, attorneys.  Most headings on letters read as follows:  
Territory of the United States south of the river Ohio.
