Dear Madam, 

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Major Richard Thorne, of New Jer-sey; Alexander Henderson, of Prince William County, Virginia; and William Norman, of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. 

There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of an Alexander Henderson, of Virginia, or of a William Norman, of Maryland. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office. 

It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining in-formation in regard to the military service of those soldiers, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records. 

The record of a Richard Thorne, who served in New Jersey troops, is furnished you herewith. 

Very truly yours

A.D. HILLER
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
