Eleventh Congress Third Session House of Representatives Document 216
This publication contains Revolutionary War Claims Barred by the Statutes of Limitation as communicated to the Senate on December 13, 1810. Don't be fooled by the title ... these are actually PAID claims.
Included is the 1 1/2 Page Senate Bill #216 followed by "a statement of all the claims which have been adjusted and allowed at the Treasury Department, and for which certificates of registered debt issued, in virtue of a law entitled "An act providing for the settlement of claims of persons under particular circumstances barred by limitations heretofore established," passed on the 27th of March, 1792.
Here's the really neat part ... IF an ancestor appears on on the list, you can obtain a copy of their actual from the United States Government via the Statement Number!!
