Virginia Revolutionary War
Public Service Claims
|
|
In May 1780, the Virginia
General Assembly passed an act authorizing the governor to
impress supplies needed by the American army. The governor
appointed commissioners in each locality to carry out the
terms of the act. When the commissioner impressed property,
he gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken.
Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at
which certificates were presented and authenticated.
This database is an index
to documents relating to
Virginia citizens' claims for compensation.
