Georgia Military - Claims of Georgia Volunteers (1837 and 1838) File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by "Lindy Hard" Georgia Table of Contents: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm The following is from microfilm of The Georgia Telegraph newspaper (Aug 1845-Aug 1848). I will send the names of the men in a series of messages. Perhaps this will help someone with their Indian wars research. 10 Feb 1846 Claims of Georgia Volunteers. We find the following list of Audited claims, and the accompanying letter of the Hon. J. H. Lumpkin, in the Marietta Advocate, which we copy for the information of those interested: House of Representatives} January 8, 1846 } Sir: For the information of the claimants, I have caused to be made out a list of the names of the Georgia Volunteers whose claims have been allowed by the Third Auditor of the Treasury, and the several amounts awarded to each claimant, for horses, or equipage lost or turned over to the Government in the Florida campaign. This list embraces a partial allowance of over two hundred claims, and shows at least that the Third Auditor and Second Comptroller are now disposed to award something in these claims heretofore delayed for investigation and information. The following is believed to be a correct statement of all that has been allowed to each claimant in any roll of the companies, either in the battalion or brigade service, who marched in from the upper portion of the State, up to his date. Hereafter I shall furnish you with a list of any other allowances that may be made in those claims for publication; as I am fully satisfied that this course is necessary to prevent the interests of claimants against speculation. I am sir, very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, John H. Lumpkin. A list of the names of the Georgia Volunteers whose claims have been allowed by the Third Auditor of the Treasury, for horses and equipage lost or turned over by them in the Florida campaigns, in 1837 and 1838, with the amounts respectively allowed to each claimant, prepared at the request of the Hon.
