He filed a claim with the Southern Claims Commission sometime during 1871 to 1873. This was because his property had been taken by United States military personnel for use in the Civil War. Each claimant was required to describe their losses, and to prove their loyalty to the Union. Witnesses often gave testimony in support of their allegations His claim was allowed - I tried to get a copy of the claim but the Dept of Treasury stated that it did not survive.


This index is based on volume 55 of Record Group No. 56, General Records of the Department of the Treasury, at the National Archives. It is duplicated on National Archives microcopy M-87, reel 13. The indication of whether the claim was allowed, disallowed, or barred is based on the book Southern loyalists in the Civil War : the Southern Claims Commission by Gary B. Mills (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1994).
