Murray, Richard (Murry)          Pen. 303              1786-1789
Soldier-2nd Virginia Regiment  
Westmoreland County 



  I do with the advice of the Council hereby certify that Richard Murray, of 
Westmoreland, aged about  30 years, late a private in the 2nd Virginia Regiment  
appears to have been disabled in such a manner while in the service of the 
Continental, as to entitle him  to the sum of 12 pounds yearly; which allowance 
is accordingly made him to commence from the first day of January 1786.  Given 
under my hand, at Richmond, this 30th  day of  August 1786.  
                                         Signed: P. Henry

  Richard Murray says he was wounded at Whalin commonly known by the name of 
Buford's Defeat --has been much severly cut in the left hand and wrist so as to 
totally render it unfitt for use--he has also other wounds on the body--he 
appears to me to come fully under the term pensioner as far as relates to 
disability.  W. Foushes, surg.   August 30 1786
