Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789
TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1782.
On a report of the Secretary at War, to whom was referred a petition of Matthew Potan:
War Office July 8, 1782.
Mr. Potan in his Petition to Congress referred to me, prays allowance for one year's pay presented to officers deranged in the year 1778. For Ms depreciation of pay as a subaltern in the fourth Pennsylvania Regiment from the first day of July, 1778, to the 26th day of December, 1779, at which time he resigned, and for seven months' pay having served that time with New York State troops in the year 1780. As his being allowed the several sums he requests or not depends on the sense Congress put on their own resolves, I beg leave in short to state his demands and recite a resolve of Congress or two which may serve to throw some light on the subject.
In the year 1778 many officers were deranged; afterwards on the 24th of November Congress resolved that all such officers (as a provision until they could return to civil life) should receive one year's pay. Mr Potan was deranged on the 24th of May 1778 and was appointed to the same rank he gave up in the line of the State of Pennsylvania on the 1st of July following. He now prays allowance for the year's pay promised to deranged Officers. He asks for the depreciation of his pay while a subaltern in the line of the State of Pennsylvania. He resigned his commission prior to the resolve of Congress of the 10th April 1780, in which they promised to make good the deficiency of the pay of the army occasioned by depreciation. If provision is made I think it should be a general one, that all officers in his situation, many of whom there are. should be equal sharers in the benefits of it.
His last request is that Congress would pay him seven months' pay due to him while he served in a Corps of troops raised by New York. If Congress have undertaken to pay that Corps, I do not see how they can attend to the request of individuals of it.
