      1775-1803 British Mercantile Claims
      Reports on sundry claims, 12 Nov. 1800: [Page 99]
      William Dillard, Culpeper. £0.10.0 (Falmouth Store) and £33.12.8 3/4 (Culpeper Store), Wm, Cunningham & Co. He was killed in the American army during the war in South Carolina. He was a dissipated man , declining in his circumstances, and took a bounty to go into service in the room of a man who had been drafted for eighteen months. He had neither lands nor slaves and only a little personal property and such were the distresses of his family that after his death some of his children were taken and supported by his friends. If the courts had been open at the peace to the recovery of British debts,
      there would have been no probability of recovering the amount of these claims from his estate.
