Sir
I herewith return the Hon. J. P. King's letter of the 19th instant, together with the letter of Misters W. H. Turpin and Wm M. D'Antignac, which accompanied Mr. King's - and in relation thereto, I have the honor to state, that the account books of the Revolutionary Army, on file in this Office, show that a Capt. D'Antignac, was settled with and allowed his pay from the 1st of May 1777 to the 31st of December 1781, and that a "funded debt" certificate was issued therefore, on interest from the 3d - of June 1782 - Whether this be the Officer referred to in the letter of Misters Turpin and D'Antignac, I am unable to state - Nor can I ascertain from the records, the circumstances, under which Cap. D'Antignac left the service -
He does not appear to have been returned as entitled to Bounty land from the United States, which would have been the case, had his services entitled him to Half-pay, or commatation -
With great Respect
