National Archives Microfilm Series M848 consists of 14 rolls of “War of 1812 Military Bounty Land Warrants, 1815-1858.” This series contains four indexes: Index of Missouri Patentees, Index of Arkansas Patentees, Partial Index of Illinois Patentees (only the entries for surnames beginning with a C or a D have survived), and Index of Patentees Under the Act of 1842.

Those (Bounty Land Number) are just the warrant numbers.  The warrant just authorized the person to go claim some government land set aside for this purpose.  Kentucky and Ohio were bounty land for Revolutionary War soldiers, land even father west (places like what are now Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri for example) was allotted for War of 1812 vets.  It was kind of like homesteading in the sense that there were tracts of land available to you, you went and found a piece you liked, and then obtained a patent.
