I do with advice of the Council hereby certify that Smith Stephens, late a 
private in the 15th Virginia Regiment and whose pay was at the rate of 24 pounds 
per annum was disabled while in the service of the United States by a wound 
which occasioned the lost of one of his legs and that he is allowed the sum of 
12 pounds yearly; which allowance is accordingly made him to commence on the 
first day of January 1786.  Given under my hand as Governor of the Commonwealth 
of Virginia, at Richmond, this 18th day of June 1786.
