Interesting pair of documents as the loose ends of the Revolutionary War were being tied together. "Upon the memorial of Margaret Moor shewing to this assembly that her late husband Wm. Moor served several years in the Continental Army in the Connecticut Line that he died in said service the 22nd of November 1781, that by the returns of the comm[ittee] o the Army and this state there was found due to said Wm. at the time of death the sum of £11.4.9 lawful money from the state for his service that he left the Margaret with three children without means of support... They are hereby directed to [send?] the payment...of £11.4.9 to the sd. Margaret for the benefit and support of her & Children..." The receipt, however, is only for £4.14.9 - perhaps the remainder wend for "administrative costs."
