Dear Madam:
     Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Oswald Dubs or Dups, who served from York County, Pennsylvania in 1781, and of Patrick Kelly, who served as private under Captain John Marshall, successor to Captain Albright, in the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment of foot.
     A careful search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of Oswald Dubs, under any spelling of the surname.  Such claims are the source of Revolutionary War data furnished by this office.  The records also fail to show a claim for pension on account of the Revolutionary War service of the Patrick Kelly described by you, but a claim for bounty land was found based upon his service in that war and it is given below.
      The records show that Patrick Kelly enlisted for the Revolutionary War, date and place of enlistment not given, and served as private in Colonel Broadhead's 1st Pennsylvania Regiment, until the end of the war; no further details of his service are stated.
     Patrick Kelly died in 1810, place not given.
     It is not shown whether or not Patrick Kelly ever married, but it was stated that he never had any lawful issue.  He was survived by a nephew, James Kelly, his only heir.
     Warrant No. 2110, for one hundred acres of bounty land, was issued April 11, 1835, on account of the Revolutionary War service of Patrick Kelly, to his nephew, James Kelly, who made affidavit in Lebanon

County, Pennsylvania, in 1834, his place of residence not shown.
     The date and place of birth and death of the soldier, Patrick Kelly, and names of his parents are not given, nor any further data relative to his nephew. James Kelly.
