  Text	24th Congress, 1st Session No. 1383 On the Re-issue of a Bounty Land Warrant to an Assignee Communicated to the House of Representatives, January 14, 1836 Mr. Chambers, of Pennsylvania, from the Committee on Private Land Claims, made the following report: That they have considered the petition of John McCarroll, junior, and the documents accompanying the same; by which it appears that a military land warrant was granted to James Wilder, No. 2429, for one hundred acres for three years services in the Virginia state line, bearing date the 9th February, 1784, and that in 1802, Spencer Wilder, claiming the same as brother and heir of the same James Wilder, the deceased, transferred and sold his right to said warrant to John Carroll [McCarroll], sernior, which said John Carroll, senior, by his deed of transfer bearing date the 21st October, 1831, did grant and convey to the said John Carroll, junior. No claim has been made by any person to the said warant under the said James Wilder, as heir or otherwise, other than the said Spencer Wilder, who assigned the same as above stated; and after a lapse of thirty years, it may be well presumed that the said Spencer Wilder was the only heir and representative of the said James. In the opinion of the committee, the petitioner ought to be allowed scrip to be issued on said warrant, to the said John McCarroll, junior, on his giving bond of satisfactory security, as proposed by him, to refund the value thereof, should the heirs or other claimants under said James Wilder, show a better claim thereto than the said John McCarroll, junior; and the committee report a bill to that effect.
