Thanks Linda - Do you know when the judgement of rewards was made?

"Congress passed an Act approving payment for the rewards of Booth and others, but not for Jefferson Davis, on July 28, 1866. These payments did not follow all of the the [sic] Reward Commission recommendations.
"The War Department issued an additional report for the Capture of Jefferson Davis on January 31, 1868.
"Congress finally passed an Act approving the payment of the rewards for capturing Jefferson Davis on July 17, 1868."
