Those are two different types of documents that have to be requested individually from NARA. Bounty land records is another set of info which is requested separately, or at least they were when we requested info on an ancestor. We had info that he was granted bounty land as a result of his service with Kentucky troops during the war of 1812 but the Archives didn't have anything about how he used the grant. By accident, we found a land deed that acreage in Iowa was given to him much later long after he'd moved from Kentucky. He used the warrant from his military service with the Kentucky troops. juanita > On 3/11/06, Donald Hartwick wrote: > > My great-great-grandfather was paid to take another man's place.
