On the 11th day of April, 1855, personally appeared before me Winslow Turner, Clerk of the Circuit Court within and for the County of Clinton, Powell H. Sharp, aged sixty two years, a resident of the County of Dekalb in the State of Missouri who being duly sworn according to law declares that he is the identical Powell H. Sharp who served as Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Battalion in the Regiment Commanded by Colonel Collins in the Black Hawk War, that he volunteered at Carlinville, in Macoupin County, Illinois, on or about the first of June, A.D., 1832 for the term of three months and continued in actual service in said War for the term of seventy days and was honorably discharged at Fort Dixon in Illinois about the 1st day of September 1832 as will appear by the muster rolls of said company.
He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to which he may be entitled under the Act granting additional bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the Military Service of the United States approved March 3, 1855. And refers to his former declaration made under Act of September 28, 1850 upon which he obtained a Land Warrant Number 47,776 for 80 acres, which he having legally transferred and disposed of, it is not within his power now to return. He further declares that he has not received a warrant for bounty land under any other Act of Congress nor made any application thereof, than the one above referred to under Act of September 28, 1850, upon which he obtained the said Land Warrant No. 47, 776 for 80 acres.
