Dear Sir,
Can you give
me any information concerning
Capt. Thomas Theodore Bliss of the
Revolutionary War
His death notice gives him the
rank of Major, and I wish to know
if there is any record of his having
held any higher rank than Capt.
and also if he received any
pension, or any grant of land
I also wish to know if you

have any record of Samuel Armitage
who served in Rev. War in army or
navy and whose record I am
to find
Very truly yours

Madam:

In reply to your letter dated the 14” instant,
you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that Theodore Bliss was allowed 300 acres of bounty land for service as captain in Colonel
Lamb's Regiment of Artillery, on Warrant No. 969, which issued July 9, 1790, to Theodosius Fowler assignee,
There are no papers on file relative to said claim,
as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned
in 1800.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records
fails to show claims for pension or bounty land on file
for Captain Thomas Theodore Bliss and Samuel Armitage,
Very respectfully,
G. M. Saltzgaber
Commissioner.
