Dear Madam:

I advise you that on January 2, 1930, you were furnished the history of Captain Thomas Bartholemew Bowman (?) and at that time you were advised that there was no data on file as to his family.

The history of a soldier of the Revolution is furnished only once to the same person.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information in regard to Joel or Joseph Yarborough, as described by you.

Very truly yours,

Earl D Church
Commissioner

Dear Madam:

I advise you from the records of this bureau, it appears that Warrant No 198 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued April 20, 1796, on account of the services of  Captain Thomas Bartholemew Bowen of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.

There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November 1814.

Very truly yours,

E W Morgan
Acting Commissioner
