Morgan, John                   Pen. 299               1786-1789  
Soldier-2nd Virginia Regiment 
Spotsylvania County--Caroline County  
Revolutionary War Pensions-Virginia Me-Pr

On examination of John Morgan who says he was a soldier in Capt. Stokes' Regt. 
commanded by Col. Buford's Regt. and that all the wounds he received-the wounds 
thereon several of which in the head appear to have been extremely dangerous so 
considerable pieces of  shells have been removed.  I think it very probable at 
particular times/ which he says is the case/ his ____ may be affected: his right 
hand, except the thumb and forefingers are greatly disabled; am of the opinion 
he is entitled to as much pension as the law allows for any private, being 
almost totally unable to labour.  W. Foushes, Surg.  May 30 1786 

 **note on bottom says that Morgan was in the 2nd Virg. Regt. and that the was 
wounded in Col. Buford's Regt.
                 Signed by James Wood, late B. G. (Brigadier General)

Morgan received 18 pounds per annum
