This is a series of documents concerning a petition for
land bounty submitted on behalf of Lucinda Satterfield.
These documents are evidence of Lucinda's effort over a
span of several years to secure land in lieu of Greenberry's
service in the Mexican War.  Greenberry was a resident of 
Grainger and Union counties in Tennessee during the early 
to mid 1800's.

A few documents from this record were not transcribed but
most are included.  Effort was taken in transcription to
use the same words per line as the author.  Also, while
capitalization seen in these documents is not grammatically
correct, it is what the authors provided.

Sir,

         In the case of Lucinda Parker,
formerly the matron of Green B. Satterfield,
dec d.  I have to inform you that the only
papers ever filed here in support of
her claim to a pension, were returned
to the Hon W.M. Cocke, on the 24 Apr 1850.
It will therefore be necessary to furnish
this evidence {illegible}.  From this letter
which accompanied the papers it appears that Wm
C was advised that Dr Westerfield's profession-
al standing a a physian appeared to be
certified; and that Capt Thomason's testimony
was not satisfactory, as he did not know that
now deceased, on account of which the soldier
was left sick at New Orleans, was con-
tracted in the US Service in the line of
Duty

Mr H L. Tinley
      Knoxville

**********************************

"The papers of Lucinda Satterfield widow of
Green B, Satterfield are herewith returned, that
the Justice of the Peace, who took the affidavits
of Dr. Westerfield may certify tht he is respectible
in his profession.

The testimony of Capt Thomason is not suf-
ficient.  He or Some other Com officer must
{illegible} in position {illegible} that the discharged
or account of which the soldier was left
sick at New Orleans was contradicted while
in the services after U.S. {illegible}
liew of his duty."
