John Burnett -Wt. [200] 209 - Lt.
BA-J/AWF [illegible]

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which
you request information relative to Lieutenant
John Burnett of New York, War of the Revolution.
From the records of this office it appears
that Warrant No. 209 for two hundred acres of
bounty land was issued October 12, 1790, on account of the services of Lieutenant John Burnett of the New York Line, War of the Revolution.
Due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned, there is no further information as to his services and no data in regard to his family.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator
