Uncle Sam Pays A Debt After Century In 1812 Claim
The American British Claims Tribunal in Washington awarded heirs $5,000 plus two years of interest for the illegal seizure of the Canadian vessel Nelson in 1812. The case traces back to Mark Twain, the Crooks family of Toronto, and the long-history of claims since the War of 1812. The 1817 court seizure at Sackett's Harbor and later rulings are cited, with several heirs named including A D Crooks and Hon. James Crooks's descendants. The award, amid prior smaller sums, is noted as part of a persistent effort begun after the war to recover damages.
