He was issued Bounty Certificate No. 1341 for 1280 acres of land December 27, 1837, for serving in the army from April 1 to May 31, 1836. This he sold while in New Orleans June 21, 1838. He received Bounty Certificate No. 1460 for 320 acres of land for his services from June 1 to September 1, 1836.
