State of Georgia				
County of Worth

On this the twenty third day of April A. D. one thousand eight hundred and 
fifty seven, personally appeared before me, James T. Hancock, a Justice of the 
Peace within and for the State and County aforesaid Robert D. Sinclair, aged 
fifty three years a resident of Worth County in the State of Georgia, who 
being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is the identical person 
who was a private in the company commanded by Captain James Harrison ordered 
out by Governor George M. Troup of the State of Georgia, for the protection 
and defense of the frontier against the depredations and murders committed by 
the Creeks or Seminole Indians, that he volunteered and was mustered into 
service on the fifth day of June in the year eighteen hundred and twenty four 
and continued in actual service in said service for the term of fifteen days, 
and was honorably discharged at Marion in Twiggs County in said state in 
August in the year eighteen hundred and twenty four.  

He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to 
which he may be entitled under the act approved March 3, 1855.

He also declares that he has not received a warrant for bounty land under this 
or any other act of Congress nor made any other application therefor.
