Dear Sir:

    Would be glad to get some information concerning my ancestor Alexander McCurdy as our Chapter of D.A.R. wishes to mark his grave.  My records give him as being an officer and wounded in the arm at Yorktown.  I would be glad to know his rank as an officer.  My records show he received a pension so I thought you would have his record and tank - he was born 1754 and died 1839 - also do you have any record of his father Captain William McCurdy born 1730 died 1822.  Fought all through the war but I do not know if he received a pension or not.  I would like to know his wife's maiden name.  I think her first name was Mary.  Be glad of any information you can give me.  
                                             Very truly
                                        Mrs. J. T. Davis

Dear Madam:

    You are advised that it appears from the records of this bureau that Warrant Number 1421 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued July 7, 1789, on account of the services of William McCurdy, Captain in the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.

    There are no further data on file relative to his service and none whatever relative to his family due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.

    The above is the only soldier named William McCurdy found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

                                Very truly yours,

                                  E. W. Morgan
                                  Acting Commissioner.
