Bounty Land Application
State of Virginia 
County of Tazewell. S.S.
On this 16th day of August 1854 personally appeared before me Johnathan Smith 
a Justice of the Peace in and for the county and state aforesaid Zachariah 
Perdue aged 80 years a resident of the County of Mercer in the State of 
Virginia who being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is the 
indentical fellow soldier who was a private in the company commanded by 
Captain Courtland Cavaniss, in the War with Great Britain declared by the 
United States on the 18th day of June 1812, that in the County of Franklin, Va 
he was drafted on or about the first of February 1815, for the term of three 
months, and continued in actual service for the term of something near two 
months and was honorable discharged in the city of Richmond 200 miles from 
where he entered the service on about the last of March or first of April 1815 
and 200 miles back to Franklin as will appear by the muster rolls of said 
company, his actual certificate of discharge being lost.
     He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to 
which he maybe entitled under the act granting bounty land to certain 
officiers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the 
United States passed September 28, 1850.
     He further declares that this is the only application that he has made, 
and that the reason why he makes his application in the county of Tazewell is, 
that he lives near the line between the two counties and that it is more 
convenient to make his application in Tazewell than in Mercer County.
