Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the
record of either a pension or land grant made to John Vance, of
Martin County, North Carolina, who served as captain of the North Carolina
artillery, also of his son, Lieutenant John C. Vance,
born in Halifax District, North Carolina, in 1752.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained
from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States
based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
The record of only one John Vance has been found who served
in the North Carolina troops in the Revolutionary War.
The records show that Warrant No. 2272, for two hundred acres
of bounty land, was issued November 22, 1791, on account of the
service of John Vance, lieutenant of the North Carolina line, War
of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued to Robert Furgerson,
administrator.
This office has no record of the statements made in the application
for bounty land, because of the destruction of papers in
such early applications when the War Office was burned in 1800,
therefore, no further data relative to the soldier, and none
whatever to his family.
For information in regard to the location of the land just
cited, you should write to the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish him with the
number of the warrant, date of its issuance and the acreage,
Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator
