Military Bounty Land Warrant Application
                          Military Bounty Land Warrant Application
                                   Trumbull Co., Ohio
                          Bounty Land Warrant #33.023 for 120 acres
                             in Delaware Co., Ind.

The State of Ohio
County of Trumbull

   On this 14th day of November A.D. one thousand eight-hundred and fifty 
personally appeared before me Mayor of Warren in the County & State aforesaid 
and ex-officio Justice of the Peace within & for said Town Samuel Calhoon, 
aged fifty-seven years, a resident of Johnston State and County aforesaid, who 
being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is the identical Samuel 
Calhoon who was a private in the Company commanded by Captain Joshua Cotton in 
the first Regiment of Ohio Militia commanded by Col. Wn. Rayen in the war with 
Great Britain declared by the United States on the 18th day of June 1812, that 
he was drafted at Austintown, Ohio on or about the 20th day of August A.D. 
1812 for the term of six months and continued in actual service in said war 
for the term of three months and some days and was honorably discharged at Ft. 
Huron on or about the 20th day of November A.D. 1812.  This defronent had a 
written discharge from service but it has been lost so that he cannot present 
it with this application.  The company-after it had been in the service 
between three and four months-was mustered out of service and this defronent 
did not therefore serve out his six months for which he was drafted.
   He makes the declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to 
which he may be entitled under the "Act granting bounty land to certain 
officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the 
United States," passed September 28th 1850.          his
                                               Samuel x Calhoon
                                                     mark
in presence of Geo. F. Brown
   Sworn to and subscribed before me the day and year above written.  And I 
hereby certify that I believe the said Samuel Calhoon to be the identical man 
who served as aforesaid and that he is of the age above stated.
                                              George F. Brown
                                              Mayor of Warren

State of Ohio   I, Warren Young, Clerk of the Court of Coomon Pleas, within
                and for said County, hereby certify that George F. Brown, Esq.
                by and before whom the foregoing testimony was taken, was, at 
   seal         the time of taking the same, and still is, Mayor of town of 
                Warren, in said county, duly qualified, and by the laws of the
                State of Ohio, ex-officio Justice of the Peace, in and for 
                said town, and authorized to administer oaths and take
                testimony. And, that I am well acquainted with the hand 
                writing of said Mayor, and believe the foregoing signature, 
                purporting to be his, is genuine.
      In testimony whereof I hereunto set my name, and affix the seal of said 
Court, at Warren, the 7th day of December A.D. 1850.

                                                Warren Young, Clerk
