Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the 
Revolutionary War records of the following soldiers: Conrad, Isaac (2),
James, John (several), Joseph, Lewis, Peter, Richard (2), Spencer,
Thomas and Walters Walters, all of Virginia. You request if the
data in regard to these soldiers cannot be found in the books
listed by you, to be informed where it can be found.

The Revolutionary War data furnished by the Veterans Administration
are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which
have been made to the United States based upon service in that war
and not from any printed lists such as those cited by you nor does
this office furnish information contained in printed lists.

There are no claims for pension on file based upon the service
in the Revolutionary War of a Conrad, Isaac, James, Joseph, Lewis,
Richard Spencer, Thomas or Walters Walters nor of a John Walters,
of Virginia; the surname was searched under all spellings.

There was a claim made, however, by a Richard C. Walters based
upon his service in the Revolutionary War. There is also a claim
for pension on file based upon the service of a Peter Walters in
that war. The James Walters cited by you as a pensioner of Ohio
was erroneously listed. His name was James Watters.

hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the service

warrant was issued July 18, 1791 to George Chandler, assignee.

There are no statements on file which were made by this officer
