Sir:

In response to your personal request of this date, for information relative to James Lingan of the Revolution you are advised that the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau is James [underlined] M. [/underlined] Lingan of Maryland, who was allowed 300 acres of bounty land for his services as a Captain on the Continental Establishment by Warrant No. 1294, issued March 19, 1792.
There is no further information concerning him, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
In order to ascertain the location of said land, application should be made to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, giving him the above data.
Very respectfully,
G. M. Saltzgaber
Commissioner.
