Trenton July 12, 1852

Dear Sir

Your request? has been received with fee enclosed.

In revolutionary records in this office in the case of

militia men do not show the particular time of service

performed ? have but few rolls of that branch at the close of

the war ? to those who had been in service and

who still had arrears of pay due them, which orders or is in

this office and extracts from which are considered good proof

that the applicant had performed duty ? up to the close of

the war. I ? you here with a certificate of such a

settlement with John Fulkerson on the 10th of May

1784. Wm Verbryck, who signed his certificate was

a commissioner to settle with soldiers residing in the

county of Somerset. This is all the evidence bearing

upon this case which we can furnish.

There is no evidence in this office of the service of

1776 or of the officers of Militia in that year.

There was a Captain Cooper in the Militia

Service of the County of Huntor bordering upon

the county of Somerset.

The regular Militia records of the State were

transmitted to Washington and consumed at the con-

flagration of the Capitol by the British Army in 1814.

Respectfully

T. S. Allison

Sec. of State N. J.
