Discharge deposited by Letter from Saml Blagge Esq. of Boston, dated 16 th March 1821. —
Hand God Vid Reply, dated 6 th April 1821. —

To substantiate a Claim to the United States' Military Bounty Land.
1st—Proof must be adduced that the ORIGINAL CLAIMANT “ enlisted to serve during the War and did actually serve to the end of it ”; unless “ slain ” by the enemy: if so “ slain ”, authentic evidence must be adduced of the time when and place where it happened .
The best proof of the enlistment and service is held to be the original discharge : in default of this , proof is required of its loss, and likewise the affidavit of a commissioned Officer under whose command the claimant served, stating the Company and Regiment, or Corps, in which he enlisted and served as aforesaid : if this evidence cannot be obtained, a similar statement must be attested by the affidavits of two non-commissioned officers or privates who served in the same Regiment or Corps, and whose credibility the Magistrate , before whom the affidavits are made, will certify ; and the signature of the said Magistrate must be officially certified by the County Clerk or a Notary Public of the district where he resides.
2d—If the original claimant does not personally apply for the Land-Warrant, he must prove his Identity before a Magistrate and execute a power of attorney, authenticated as above directed for affidavits, to whoever applies for it in his behalf: or an assignment, properly authenticated, will answer the same purpose.
N. B. This power of attorney has been sometimes dispensed with and a simple letter of order admitted in lieu of it when presented by a member of Congress who would give his own receipt for the warrant.
3d—In case the original claimant is dead and his heirs apply in his right, they must produce legal certificates from the competent authorities to prove that they are the legitimate and only heirs : A Land-Warrant will not be issued to an Executor or Administrator , without special authorization from the heir or heirs for that purpose.
N.B. Of the evidence adduced in conformity with these Regulations, that the Records in the War Department, if the Warrant will be issued without delay.

To substantiate a Claim to the United States Bounty Land Henry James
1st - First that he claimed that the original commission... The best proof of the original commission is to be found in the original... charges; in default of this, proof of the date and the amount of the... a commission Officer under whose command he served during the... any and every other document which would tend to prove the... on the roll of supernumerary officers during the same period.
IT is presumed that every COMMISSIONED Officer who would substantiate a Claim to United States Bounty Land has preserved his COMMISSION; and can prove by THAT or some other authentic document, officially attested by some known public character or authority, the LINE, CORPS and GRADE in which he served:—it is also requisite that he adduce similar proof of his having SERVED TO THE END OF THE WAR—or that he was discharged by some special Act of Congress and borne on the roll of SUPERNUMERARY OFFICERS during the same period.
