I have a document found in an ancestor's belongings dated 14 Nov 1864 A claim (in duplicate) made by Joseph P. McCulloh of Walker County, Georgia against the United States "For pasturing thirty hundred (3,000) head of Beef Cattle one day commencing on the 14th day of November and ending on the fourteenth day of November 1864 at 1 cent per head...........$30.00.
I certify, on honor, that the above account is correct and just; that the services were rendered as stated, and were necessary for the public service, and that I have not paid this amount for want of funds. ...signed Sylvester R. Cone, 1st Lieut.56th Illinois Infantry, Co., D - Mechanic Fusileers..
