Dear Sir:-
Your reply to my inquiry concerning Joseph Rowe, Roe, or Ray, Revol. soldier buried in Champlain, N. Y. received I have found in Clinton Co. Clerks Office, Plattsburgh, N. Y. a deed in which Joseph Roy (ROY) sold land received from U. S. A. government.  This deed was given in 1790 and at that time he was in Longueuil, Canada, province of Quebec. His name is Joseph Ray I the list of Canadian & Nova

Scotia Refugees.  He was in Col. Moses Hazen's Regt. in the Rev. War and called Joseph Rowe.  Undoubtedly the name was originally ROI (Roi) and so misspelled 
So I venture to ask you to look for pension papers for Joseph Roy or Roy.
Thanking you for your courtesy in behalf of Mrs. Harriette V. Stacy, 22 Imlay Street, Hartford, Conn.

Very truly

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of November 12, 1935, requesting information relative to Joseph Rowe, Roe, Ray, Roy or Roi who served in the Revolutionary War in Colonel Moses Hazen's regiment and was granted land by the United States in 1790.

The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant #13666 for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued October 12, 1790, on account of the Revolutionary War service of Joseph Ray who served as private in Colonel Moses Hazen's regiment.

There are no further data on file relative to this soldier because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.

In order to obtain the location of this land, it is suggested that you address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, Washington, D.C., citing the following data as means of identification: Warrant 13666 for one hundred acres of bounty land, issued October 12, 1790, on account of the Revolutionary War service of Joseph Ray.

The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to pension having been claimed on account of the Revolutionary War service of this soldier, searched under all spellings of the name.

Very truly yours
