Sir:

I have to advise you that from the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 282 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued November 7,1796 on account of the services of Kedar (or Cader) Ballard,
Captain of the North Carolina Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services,
