Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the Revolutionary War record of Colonel Burgess Ball of Virginia.
The records of this office show that Warrant #252 for
500 acres of bounty land was issued May 28, 1789, on account of
service of Burgess Ball, Colonel in the Virginia Line, War of the
Revolution.
There are no statements on file made by the applicant
for this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in
such early application or bounty land when the War Office was
burned in 1800, hence, no further data in regard to this officer.
If you desire information in regard to the location of
the land which was granted on account of service of Colonel Burgess
Ball, you should address the Commissioner, General Land Office,
this city, and furnish that official the warrant number, acreage,
and date of issuance given above.
it is suggested that further information in regard to the
military record of this officer might be obtained from the Adjutant
General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.
