Petition of Neilson to become a citizen of the United States approved by Walton. The endorsement certifies that Neilson is a native of Ireland and has lived in the United States since 1795. Includes signed affidavits by William Scott and James Murren vouching that Neilson has lived in the United States for at least five years and is of good moral character. Neilson signed on p. 2 that he will renounce allegiance to any foreign country, particularly Great Britain, and swear his allegiance to the United States.
