Dear Madam:

     Reference is made to your letter in which you request the pension record of Zephaniah Brown, of Rhode Island, a solider of the Revolutionary War.

     The records of this office show that Warrant No. 85 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the military service of Zephaniah Brown, captain, Rhode Island time, War of the Revolution.  Said warrant was issued December 12, 1796.

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

     The above noted is the only Zephaniah Brown found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.

                                  Very truly yours

                                  A.D. Hiller

Dear Sir:-
     Is there a pension record of Zephaniah Brown,  
Revolutionary soldier, (native of Rhode Island) who settled near Ithaca, Tompkins Co., N.Y. about 1799?
     If so, does it give his birth-place, dates of birth and death, and names of his wife, and parents?
     This information would be very thankfully received.

                                  Yours truly,
                                  Jessie W. Brown
