Certificates of Allowance Record Book, The militia act of January 27, 1867 provided that militia claims dating from 1851 through the Civil War, and campaigns against the Apache and Navajo, be filed with the Adjutant General's office, examined and approved, within two years. Upon verification and approval of claims, certificates of allowance were issued by the Treasurer of the Territory to be paid by warrants when funds became available. These certificates were to a large degree turned over to attorneys or merchants for collection and discounted. The Record Book only has been microfilmed. The notarized claims and original certificates are on file at the State Records Center. See MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS, this group, "Militia Payment Issue.", 1867-1869., 1862,, 1862-1864,
