Dear Sir:

You are advised that it appears from the records of this bureau
that Warrant No. 180, for three hundred acres of bounty land was
issued June 11, 1789, on account of the services of Jeremiah Ballard,
Captain of the New Jersey Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor
any data as to his family, because of destruction of papers in such
claims, when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
Very truly yours

To the Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:


I am pursuing some genealogical investigations
in regard to the Ballard family and in particular to
William Ballard - born October 4, 1757; died at Ludlowville,
N. Y., April 20, 1847. He lived for many years in New York City
and at Jamaica or Huntington, Long Island. On or about
the year 1815 he removed to a farm of 160 acres at Genoa, N. Y.
I find in a published book the statement that a
William Ballard served in the Revolutionary War as an enlisted
man in the Dutchess County Militia under Major Adams
and received a land bounty grant.
Is there anything in your records which would
serve to identify these William Ballards or to show that
they were the same man? Also to show their wives or parents?
I thought it possible that the land bounty grant mentioned
might be the 160 acre farm at Genoa.
The first named William Ballard had a brother,
Captain Jeremiah Ballard, a commissioned officer (from
New Jersey) in the Army of the Revolution and an original
member of the Society of the Cincinnati.
Is there any record of him at Washington? His
birthplace or parentage?
Any information you might give me on this subject
would be greatly appreciated.

Yours very truly,
S.E. Flitner,
Englewood,
NJ.
