Mrs. John E. Grove
Highland Hall
Hollidaysburg Pennsylvania.

Dear Madam: 

Reference is made to your letter in which you request
the Revolutionary war records of Captains Lilburn Williams and
Captain John Williams, both of Pennsylvania, the latter in the
4" Battalion of Cumberland County, Militia.

A search of the Revolutionary war records of this office
has been made and no claim for pension found based upon service of
Captain John Williams of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

The records of this office show that Lylburne Williams
served as Captain in the Maryland Line, War of the Revolution.
[in right margin beside above paragraph: Ln Heitman - Lilburn Williams]

On account of service of this officer, given above,
warrant #2408 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued February 24, 
1798.

There are no statements on file made by the applicant for
this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in such early 
applications for bounty land when the War Office was burned in 1800;
hence, no data in regard to the family of this officer.

If you desire information in regard to the location of this
land, you should address the Commissioner, General Land Office, this
city and furnish that official the number of the warrant, acreage,
and date of issuance as given herein.

It is suggested that further information in regard to the
military record of this officer, might be obtained from The Adjutant
General, War Department, this city.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.
