George Ludlum.
George Ludlum enlisted as a private in Captain Van Buren’s company of the 29th regiment United States infantry, on February 10, 1814, for the period of during the war, and that he is entered on the inspection returns of said Van Buren’s company as having deserted, on April 28, 1815. It a1so appears from the certificate of Lieutenant Burr, of said regiment, bearing date June 13, 1815, that said Ludlum was absent, without leave, at the time the troops were paid off and discharged, but that he returned to Plattsburg a short time afterwards. It also appears that said Ludlum died some time after the close of the war, leaving a widow and several child.
Side note. Camp PLATTSBURG, March 20, 1815.

John Gwynn.
John Gwynn was a soldier in the revolutionary war, attached to the fourth regiment Maryland line, commanded by Colonel Carvill Hall; that he died in Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred; and at the time of his decease he was entitled to one hundred acres of bounty land for services in said revolutionary war; and that Julia Gwynn is the widow, and Catharine Gwynn and Susannah Gwynn are the surviving children and legitimate heirs of said John, deceased, and as heirs petition for said bounty land.
It is in evidence, by letters from the War Department, that on the 14th day of July, 1795, being more than five years previous to the decease of said John Gwynn, a land warrant, No. 11262, was issued to William Marbury, the assignee of one David Lawler, administrator on the estate of the same John Gwynn. In consequence of the warrant issued as aforesaid, the War Department now declines issuing another warrant to the legitimate heirs, who have thus been defrauded out of their land.
It is manifest that a base fraud has been perpetrated, and the government imposed upon by said pretended administrator, or other interested person; but in justice to the character of said William Marbury, the assignee as aforesaid, the committee are induced to acquit him of all knowledge of the fraudulent design and transaction. A patent has been granted upon the aforesaid warrant; the title to the land has been transferred by said assignee, but in whom it is now vested the committee are not informed. There is no evidence, however, to induce a belief that the said John Gwynn, in his lifetime, or the widow and heirs since his decease, were ever concerned in said fraud, or that they have in the least participated in it.
The committee are of opinion that the heirs of said John Gwynn are entitled to relief, and report a bill.

Leonard Holly.
Leonard Holly enlisted as a soldier for five years, on June 22, 1812, in the 10th regiment of United States infantry, and was continued on the rolls of his regiment until April, 1815, after which no further notice of him was taken upon the muster or payrolls. From this statement, it satisfactorily appears that Leonard Holly served in the army of the United States during the whole of the late war, and that he would be entitled to his military bounty land, and any pay which might be due to him, were he alive, unless he had deserted, or been deprived of any part of his right by the sentence of a court-martial, of which no evidence exists; but as it appears that he has never been heard of, either by his family or by any person, since April, 1815, the presumption obviously arises that he is dead. The committee, therefore, report a bill for the relief of his legal representatives, the War Department not considering itself authorized to settle with them unless it be furnished with positive proof of the death of the individual through whom they derive their claim.

Fortune Stoddard Kills James Cunningham.
War Office, August 10th., 1782.
On the 22nd. of December last a soldier of the Rhode Island Regiment killed one James Cunningham, for which act he has been tried by the laws of the State of Maryland and acquitted of murder; but found guilty of manslaughter, and is now detained in jail for costs, which amount to about 24 pounds, which sum must be discharged by the public or he will be sold to refund the expense. This I am convinced would be a real injury to the service; besides it will cost much more than that sum to procure a man in his stead to serve during the war--
I beg leave therefore to submit to the consideration of Congress the propriety of passing the following resolve.
Whereas Fortune Stoddard a soldier in the army of the United States has been tried and punished by the civil authority of the State of Maryland for an offence against the laws of that State and is now kept in custody for the fees,
Resolved, That the Executive of the State of Maryland be requested to discharge the said Fortune Stoddard from his confinement and charge the United States with the fees, and that the amount of the said fees be charged by the United States to the State of Rhode Island.
Resolved, That the executive authority of the State of Maryland be requested to discharge from confinement Fortune Stoddard, a soldier belonging to the Rhode Island regiment, confined for costs accrued in a late prosecution, and charge such costs to the United States, transmitting to the Secretary at War the account thereof, in order that the same may be charged to the said soldier, and deducted out of his pay.
