Revolutionary Claims.
______________________
Under the act, entitled ""An act for the relief of certain surviving Officers and
Soldiers of the Army of the Revolution,” approved 15th May, 1828.
__________________________
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
22 July 1828.
The annexed paper, relating to the claim of Hugh Milling,
under the abovementioned act, is respectfully referred to the Secretary of War, with a
request that he will be pleased to cause me to be informed whether it appears, by any
records in the War Department, that the claimant has received, or is entitled to receive,
the bounty in land granted by Congress for service in the Continental line of the Army
of the Revolution; and, if so, whether he became entitled to the same by service to the
termination of the war, or in what other manner.

Richard Smith
The Hon. the SECRETARY OF WAR.

War Department
Bounty land Office
It appears by the records of this Office that a warrant
for bounty land issued on the 7th of May 1806 to Hugh
Milling as a Captain in the South Carolina line.
This Warrant seems to have issued upon Captain
Milling's own affidavit sustained by the affidavits
of two co-officers. By the affidavits it appears he
was a Capt in that line and by the modifications
of the army became deranged in 1780. That he then
volunteered his service, was taken prisoner at Charles
-ton when that city was captured and so remained
to the termination of the War. It will be remarked
that he would have been entitled to his bounty land
tho' he had not entered again into service after
his derangement in 1780.
