Application for Bounty Land for War of 1812 Service


State of Virginia,

On this 22nd day of OCTOBER A.D. one thousand eight hundred and FIFTY 
personally appeared before me, a Justice of the Peace within the county and 
State aforesaid, HOLLAND H. BUTLER aged 65 years, a resident of ISLE OF WIGHT 
COUNTY in the State of VIRGINIA who being duly sworn according to Law, 
declares, that he is the identical HOLLAND H. BUTLER who was a Private in the 
Company commanded by Captain WILLIS WILLS in the 29th Regiment of Virginia 
Militia, commanded by MAJOR RICHIE in the War with Great Britain, declared by 
the United States on the 18th day of June, 1812; that he VOLUNTEERED at ISLE 
OF WIGHT COUNTY on or about the day of FEBRUARY 1813 , for the term of SIX 
MONTHS and continued in actual service in said war for the term of SIX MONTHS 
and was honorably discharged at NORFOLK on the day of AUGUST 1813, as will 
appear by THE MUSTER ROLLS OF SAID COMPANY - HE RECEIVED A WRITTEN DISCHARGE, 
BUT NOT THINKING IT WOULD EVER BENEFIT HIM, HE TORE IT UP MANY YEARS AGO.

He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the Bounty Land to 
which he may be entitled under the “Act granting Bounty Lands to certain 
Officers and Soldiers who have been engaged in the Military Service of the 
United States,” passed September 28th, 1850.

Signed by HOLLAND H. BUTLER

Sworn to and Subscribed before me the day and year above written. And I hereby 
certify that I believe the said HOLLAND H. BUTLER to be the identical man who 
served as aforesaid, and that he is of the age above stated.

Signed by IRVIN DUCK Justice of the Peace
