My people told me we were of Major General
William Heath's line.
I cannot link up my data.
Thought perhaps his war record
would straighten the data.
Would like to know if it gave
names of his children.

I want to find father of
Jonathan Heath b1764 d1831
who married Apr 29 1787 @ Newport RI
Rebecca Stoddard b1769 d1843
I have been told his father was named
Record Heath.
Will gladly pay
for the record.
Sincerely
Jennie Tefft Gall

Dear Sir: Yours Nov. 6, with reference to Maj. Gen.
Wm Heath of Roxbury, Mass.
I am having considerable
difficulty getting a line-up on his descendants, one of whom
apparently came to Urbana, Ohio, about 1815. This Urbana
Heath was named William, and I think, was son or grandson
of Maj. Gen. Wm Heath.

Wm Heath of Urbana married Milly Pinckard
in 1816, at Urbana, and is the grandfather of Mr. Wm Ames
Heath, now at head of Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.

You mention a bounty of 1100 acres land
given Maj Gen Wm Heath, for war service. Can you advise
where this land was located? If near Urbana, Ohio, then
the Urbana Wm Heath was no doubt a son or grandson
of Major Gen. Wm Heath.

I dislike very much to be a source of
annoyance, but I would like to get a connecting clue
from East to West. The location of this land might
give it.

Very respectfully
M. T. Heath.

Mr. M. T. Heath

Dear Sir:

You are advised that the records of this bureau show that
Warrant No. 908, for eleven hundred acres of bounty land was
issued July 3, 1789, to William Heath of Massachusetts, on account
of his service as Major General during the War of the Revolution.

There are no further data on file relative to his service
and no data relative to his family, because of the destruction of
papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in
1800 and 1814.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any
information in regard to pension having been claimed on account of
the service of Major General William Heath.

Very truly yours,

E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner

service of William Heath who served as Major General of Massachusetts
Troops during the Revolution.

There are no further data on file relative to his service, and no data relative to his family, owing to the destruction
