Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Thomas Janney or Jannay, who served as 2nd lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Troops, War of the Revolution.

The records of this office show that Warrant No. 1166, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued January 25, 1791, on
account of the military service of Thomas Janney, lieutenant, Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.

This office has no further information in regard to this soldier because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.

In order to obtain information in regard to the location of the land noted above, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and cite the number of the warrant, the acreage and the date of issuance.

Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistatant to the Administrator
