A claim presented by George Amoss, a volunteer militiaman in the service of the United States in the Creek war, under command of Captain Haley G. Jenkins, residing in Barbour county, State of Alabama: One bay horse died for want of sufficient forage being furnished by the United States, $75.

Personally appeared before me, George L. Barry, a justice of the peace for the county of Barbour, and State of Alabama, George Amoss, and made oath that the above claim is just and true; that the horse died in consequence of not being furnished with sufficient forage by the United States, after a forced march in pursuit of hostile Indians; and that the value of the horse, as stated, is just and reasonable; and that he has not received any remuneration for the same, or any part thereof. GEORGE B. AMOSS.

Given under my hand and seal, this 24th day of August, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty-seven.

GEORGE L. BARRY.

I, Haley G. Jenkins, captain of the Barbour rangers, a company of mounted volunteers, now in the service of the United States, certify that the horse, for the value of which the foregoing claim is presented, died while George Amoss was in the service of the United States, under my command, in consequence of not being furnished with sufficient forage by the United States, after a forced march in pursuit of hostile Indians; and that the value stated is just and reasonable.

The United States to D. G. Skinner, DR.

May 16, 1836: To army and hospital supplies, pressed from his store, the 16th day of May, for the subsistence of the volunteers and other troops then collected at Irwinton to defend the frontier and protect the settlements in the Creek nation, to the amount of five thousand six hundred and eleven dollars and fifty-five cents, by appraisal, in lots, of disinterested judges by us appointed for that purpose, and subsequently consumed by General W. Irwin's command, in the United States public service, $5,611 55.

HEADQUARTERS, CREEK NATION, ALABAMA,

Fort Irwin, June 10, 1836.

I certify the above account, amounting to $5,611 55, to be correct and just; and that the said goods were actually taken and used, as above charged, by me, from him, for the public service; and that they were so taken and issued in consequence of there being no supplies or funds belonging to the public to be had at this post; and the country being in the most imminent peril, from hordes of hostile Indians, they were, therefore, indispensably taken and issued to said troops, in United States service; and we verily believe he has received no compensation therefor.

E. KIRKPATRICK,

Quartermaster 5th division Alabama Militia.

JUNE 10, 1836.

I certify the above amount and certificate to be just and correct, and that said goods were necessarily taken and issued to my command in the said public service, by my order, at the above amount.
