There are no papers on file for
this claim.
The brown jacket marked 52 -
was taken from the rejected claim
No 51. of William Adams. and on
the written list of rejected claims
Nos. 51 and 52 were marked consolidated
(in handwriting of Mr Pryor, a
clerk of Old War & Navy Division, who died
about 1893)
There is no connection between
the two claims, apparently.
The printed list of rejected claims (1852)
gives William Adams, Act June 7, 1832. of
Flemming Co. Ky. with reason for Suspension
as follows: "Service not specified or
proved -- probably antedated -- Letter to
claimant May 31 1845" --
