State of Kentucky, County of Adair
On this fourth day of April A. D., one thousand eight hundred and fifty five
personally appeared before me, John Y. WALLACE a Justice of the Peace, within
and for the County and State aforesaid, John ANDERSON, aged sixty four years,
a resident of Adair County, in the State of Kentucky who, being duly sworn
according to law, declares, that he is the identical John ANDERSON who was a
Private in the company commanded by Captain  MORRISON in the Second Regiment
of Kentucky Volunteers commanded by Colonel JENNINGS, in the war with Great
Britain, declared by the United States, on the 18th of June, 1812, for the
term of six months and continued in actual service with said war for fourteen
days; that he has heretofore made application for bounty land under the act
of September 28, 1850, and received a land warrant, No. . . . for eighty
acres, which he has since legally disposed of, and cannot now return.

He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the additional bounty 
land to which he may be entitled under the act approved the 3d day of March,
1855. He also declares that he has never applied for or received, under this
or any other act of Congress, any bounty-land warrant except the one
mentioned above.   (Signed)  John ANDERSON

We, Jane LESSE (?) and Marion N. CARR residents of Adair County, in the State
of Kentucky upon our oaths declare that the foregoing declaration was signed
and acknowledged by John ANDERSON, in our presence, and we believe, from the
appearance of the applicant, that he is the identical person he represents
himself to be.   (Signed)  Jane LESSE (?)          (Signed)  Marion N. CARR

The foregoing declaration and affidavit were sworn to and subscribed before
me on the day and year above written; and I certify that I know the affiants
to be credible persons; that the claimant is the person he represents himself
to be; and that I have no interest in this claim.
(Signed)  John Y. WALLACE, J. P.

I, Sinclair WHEAT, Clerk of the County Court of Adair County, aforesaid, do 
certify that John Y. WALLACE whose genuine signature appears in one place
above, was, at the time of signing the same, an acting Justice of the Peace

faith is due to his official acts.

Given under my hand and seal of office, this 7th day of April, A. D. 1855.
