Lived near Charles Town when the troubles broke out, was born free, had property before the Rebellion; delivers an Estimate of his Property, amounting in Value to £ 308. 10. The Certificates states that Jno. THOMSON was possess’d of that property but he says this was a mistake of the Person who Signed it. He keept a Cooks Shop at Charlestown– has been here about three Months, has supported him[self] by the Wages he had whilst he was Cook on Board the Polly. Was three Years a Board a Ship. He lives in Newmarker Street; he keeps a Cooks Shop there as he did before.
Entd. — Decision — £ 5. in full.
There is a Certificate annexed to this Man’s Memorial which induces some little Suspicion because he calls himself John ROBINSON & that Certificates [sic] speaks of him under the name of Jno. THOMPSON; if we were certain of the Fraud of course we should reject the whole of his Claim but not being absolutely Certain we recommend the small Sum of 5 £ to be given to him which we mean to be in full for all his Losses.
Great Britain, Public Record Office, Audit Office, Class 12, Volume 99, folios 12–13.
