OK, I'll bite. Was this for something specific or was it for service in France in WWI?

The Moor families settled near Rushville, Indiana around 1815. The land office opened in 1822 and I was looking for records for properties in the area that had been bought and sold. One piece I could find no records for so I asked. The answer was the land had never been sold following the land grant from President Monroe to Artimis Moor shortly after the land office opened. But I never found the certificate.
