State of Virginia  Page County to wit:
  I, William A. Harris, clerk of the County Court of Page County, do hereby 
certify that at a Court held for the said County held on Monday the 24th day of 
February 1834 it was proved to the satisfaction of the Court by two witnesses 
that Colin Mitchum, alias Colin Mitchison, who was both a United States and a 
pensioner, died on the 20th day of December, 1832 and that he left a widow and 
that he left two children living at the time of his death--to wit: Henry Mitchum 
and Sally Brown, wife of Thomas Brown- which was ordered to be certified by the 
pension agent in Richmond.  And I further certify that Abraham Strickler is a 
Magistrate as within named, and that the signature purporting to be his, is 
genuine.  In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal of 
my said office this 13th day of March 1834.  William A. Harris
