Mrs. John Milton Brown,
Dawson, Georgia.

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 18"" instant,
you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of
this Bureau show that Warrant No. 1511 for 200 acres of
bounty land was issued June 19, 1795, on account of the
services of David Merriwether as Lieutenant of the Virginia
troops, Revolutionary War.
There is no further information concerning him on
file, owing to the destruction of papers when the War
Office was burned in 1800,
For the location of said land you should apply to
the Commissioner of the General Land Office, citing the
above data.
Very respectfully,
G M Saltzgaber
Commissioner.
