Rev. and 1812 Wars Section
September 20, 1924
Major W. A. McCain
Room 2549 Munitions Bldg., 
Washington, D. C.

Sir: 
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 2427 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued April 2, 1790 on account of the services of Captain James Williams of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution. 
There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800. 
The above noted is the only Captain James Williams of Virginia whose record is found on the Revolutionary War files of this Bureau. 
Respectfully, 
     
Acting Commissioner.
