Dear Madam:
September 6, 1939
BA-J/MOS
Caleb Blodget
B. L. Wt. 76 - 200
Reference is made to your request for information relative to
Revolutionary War soldiers named Caleb and Erastus Lee Blodgett.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that on April
2, 1800, Warrant 76 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued to Sam.
Blodget, heir, on account of the service of Caleb Blodget as lieutenant
in the New Hampshire Line during the Revolutionary War.
There are no further data on file relative to this officer and his
family, because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when
the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
For information relative to the location of this land, it is
suggested that you address the Commissioner of the General Land Office,
Interior Department, this city, giving the warrant number, the acreage
and the date the warrant was issued.
This is the only Caleb Blodget (searched under all spellings)
that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any
information relative to Erastus Lee Blodgett,
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
