McGrew -- in the war against the Indians, known as "Jackson's War;" that he was drafted in Washington  Co., Mi., on or about the       day of      A.D.     for the term of six months, and continued in actual service in said war for the term of fourteen days, and was honorably discharged at Montgomery Hill, Ala., on or about the     day of     A.D.   (He states that he served three months, but has forgotten all about the dates.)

He further states that he has received for said service a warrant for forty acres of land under the act of Sept. 28th 1850, the number of which he is unable to give, having sold his warrant, without taking or keeping any note of the number. -- He makes this declaration for the purpose obtaining the provisions of the act approved March 3, 1855, never having received any bounty land, except as above stated; and he hereby constitutes and appoints A.F. Posey Greenville, Butler County, Ala., his attorney to prosecute his claim and receive his patent therefor.
