Dear Sir:

Re: JOSEPH DORSEY
AND JOHN DORSEY.

Will you kindly advise me what your records
show concerning Joseph Dorsey or Darsey, born in Maryland November 24, 1762, and granted land by State of Georgia in 1791, presumably for military services.

I should also like to know what your records
show concerning Revolutionary services of
John Dorsey or Dorset of Maryland.

Yours very truly,
Furman B. Pearce

Dear Sir:

You are advised that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolutionary War unless a
claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States
on account of his services.

A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Gilbert Sutton, Joseph Dorsey or of any soldier with surname Bowdre, or similar
spelling.

The names John Dorsey and John Dorset have also been
searched and no record found. However, the records show
that Warrant No. 620 for three hundred acres of bounty land
was issued March 3, 1797, on account of the services of one John Darcey, of New Jersey, Surgeon's Mate Hospital Department, War of the Revolution.

There are no other data on file in regard to this soldier, because of the destruction of papers in such early bounty land claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800.

Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner.
