Finding #1018 (commit 4976681): three military-land remedies in one 1802 act. Bates and Ten Eyck were promised lieutenant- and captain-rank quantities after survey-fee receipts; William Gall was granted 500 acres for life with remainder to his children. The photographed act does not establish issuance, parcel identity, or Gall’s children.
