Respectfully returned to Capt. R.S. Lacey Agt in charge 7th Sub Dist Va 
Roberts claims to have belonged to Capt Jennings Co. 7th Va.  Militia in the war of 1812 - but he was mustered into services at Peach Orchard, & out at Fort Barber, near Norfolk, after serving nine months 

He has no papers to show that he served as a soldier in 1812 - though his statement is doubtless correct.  He is nearly blind, about 76 years old, & could not have exceeded more than sympathy in aid of the Rebellion.  He is very much in want, & the allowance from the overseers of the poor is totally inadequate to his necessities. I would recommend any assistance that it may be in accordance with Bureau regulations to afford
