Dear Madam:
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant 1425 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued July 16, 1789.
on account of the services of Samuel Montgomery as captain in the
Pennsylvania line during the Revolutionary War.
There are no further data on file relative to Captain Samuel Montgomery and no data relative to his family, because of the
destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours
