Clinton, Missouri

Madam:
I advise you that the  records of this bureau show that Warrant No. 1474 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued July 25, 1789 on account of the services of Allen McLane, Captain in Colonel Lee's Legion in the Revolutionary War.
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever pertaining to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Captain John McLane of the Fourth North Carolina Regiment and Surgeon's Mate William McLane of North Carolina.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH
Commissioner
