Some Veterans Settled In Arkansas

From Makers of Arkansas history:

Some of these immigrants had been soldiers in the War of 1812.  The United States had given each soldier in that War a certificate that entitled him to one hundred and sixty acres of the public lands.  Many of these tracts were located in Arkansas.

Bounty Land Warrant recipients in Arkansas.

A War of 1812 hero, James Miller, was the first governor of the Arkansas Territory.

Audit of Warrants of War of 1812 Participants

From the Congressional Edition:

...it will be necessary to take the name of each soldier separately...until the examination of the whole thirty nine thousand eight hundred and twenty five shall have been completed. This will be the only mode of ascertaining how many were entitled to land under their enlistment how many were honorably discharged how many otherwise and how many died in the service.

Hundreds of desertions took place during the war and notwithstanding a forfeiture of the land was the consequence those would require to be included in the examination to ascertain the fact.
