Hello Everyone, Could someone please tell me if the authority for the awarding of land for service in the War of 1812 is : May 6, 1812: ScripWarrant Act of 1812 (2 Stat. 728) This is referred to in several Missouri land certificates issued in the 1819-1825 period found at www.glorecords.blm.gov The individuals are known to have served in the War of 1812. If this is not the authority, does anyone have a correct citation? Thanks in advance.
