Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to the services of the above soldiers, nor any data on file as to their families, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1814.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to any Wyatt Coleman.
Respectfully
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
