Dear sir:

I am trying to establish the War record of some of my Revolutionary ancestors.  Will you please let me have any data which the records of your office show?  I am led to believe Eliab Garnder and William Stanton were in the Revolution.  Our family record states Zaccheus Macy who was 63 years old at the beginning of the War, held civil office during the War, also donated funds.  The families came from around Nantucket.  Enclosed is copy of dates I have.

Thanking you in advance
I am,
Sincerely
Mrs. Robert A. Hicks
Cambridge City, Indiana

Dear Madam:

In reply to your letter of recent date, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of William Stanton as a captain in Colonel Sheldon's cavalry, on Warrant No. 1965, which was issued June 25, 1789 to him.

There are no papers on file relative to said claim, as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, there are no further data in regard to him.

The above noted William Stanton or Staunton is the only soldier of that name that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

Very truly yours

E. W. MORGAN
Acting Commissioner
