R. B. Wentworth,
900 Schweiter Bldg.,
Wichita, Kansas.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated December 9, 1920, you are
advised that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Captain Luke Brodhead (or Broadhead) of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution, was allowed 300 acres of bounty land on Warrant No. 223, which issued March 25, 1793.
There is no further information on file as to his services,
and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of paper
in such claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
It does not appear that a claim for pension was made on
account of his services.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford
any information relative to Isaac Wentworth.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

on June 24, 1921.
Mr Wentworth
was again advised
no Issac Wentworth
& no other Luke Brodhead

Dear Sir:
The records of this office show that warrant No. 222
for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued March
26, 1793, on account of the services of Luke Brodhead (Broadhead), Captain of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his
services, and no data as to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir:

Mr. Charles N. Doolittle
71 Richelieu Place
Newark, New Jersey
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers
of the Revolutionary War, Johannes Van Etten, Charles
Brodhead, Luke Brodhead, Garret Brodhead, and John Brodhead.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are
obtained from claims made to the United States for pension
and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in
that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a
claim on file on account of the services of Garrett Brodhead
as described by you or John Brodhead or Charles Brodhead,
all spellings of the names searched.
The records of John Van Etten and Luke Brodhead are
furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
