Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for information relative to who served during the Revolutionary War as lieutenant and captain in the 8th Virginia regiment.
The records of this office show that Warrant 2648 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued December 5, 1794, on account of the service of James Craig as captain in the Virginia Line during the Revolutionary War.
Because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800, there are no further data on file relative to James Craig and none whatever in regard to his family.
The above-noted is the only soldier of this name who served with Virginia troops, that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
For information in regard to the location of this land, it is suggested that you address The Commissioner of General Land Office, Interior Department, Washington, D.C., citing the following data:  James Craig, Captain of Virginia troops, Revolutionary War, Warrant 2648 for 300 acres, issued December 5, 1794.
Very truly yours
