Ralph Pomeroy (1737–1819) was a Connecticut public official and Revolutionary War-era military administrator who served as Deputy Quartermaster General of the Continental Army. Working within the Continental Army's critical supply system, Pomeroy was responsible for helping obtain and distribute provisions and matériel to American forces during the struggle for independence. Following the Revolution, he continued in public service and became Comptroller of Connecticut, overseeing state financial affairs and the settlement of Revolutionary-era obligations. Documents such as this 1791 certificate reflect the continuing financial consequences of the Revolution as Connecticut worked to satisfy debts incurred during the war.
