Primus Hall's House Report 820 For His Revolutionary War Pension Dated January 7, 1837

Hello.  This is Michael - Michael The Researcher observing Black History Month.  Today is February 22, 2019.  As many of you know, February 22 is George Washington's date of birth.  Tonight, I am going to tell you about someone who was in George Washington's Continental Army.  His name is Primus Hall.  I feature, in this blog entry, an original document from the year 1837.  It is a House Report from the Committee On Revolutionary Pensions during the Second Session of the Twenty-fourth Congress dated January 7, 1837.  You will note "man of color" in the text.  Primus Hall was a Black Revolutionary War Veteran, and this House Report details his petition requesting a pension for his time in the Military.  He was with George Washington in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey.  Primus Hall was granted the pension in the following year.  A big salute to Primus Hall for his service in the Military and his participation in the War For American Independence.  He was also involved in the War Of 1812.

February is Black History Month, and February 22 is George Washington's Birthday.  This document effortlessly fits in with both events.  I am going to bring this document to Trenton, New Jersey tomorrow.  The Old Barracks Museum will be hosting the Four Centuries Of African American Soldiers exhibit.  I am going to visit my good friends in the U.S.C.T. and other Reenacting units.  I hope to see many of you there.  Thank you for reading and watching.  Good night.
