Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you state that the
Joseph Young in whom you are interested lived in Montgomery County,
Virginia, during the Revolutionary War and that his father, James
Young, served in the French and Indian War. You state that if
Moylan's Dragoons were Virginia Troops that the record of the Joseph
Young which was furnished you January 28, 1936, might be the soldier
in whom you are interested.

Colonel Moylan's Regiment of Dragoons was a continental regiment,
hence the troops who served in that regiment were not necessarily
from any one particular state.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon the service
of a Joseph Young, of Virginia.

Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information
in regard to Joseph Young, who served as a private in Moylan's
Regiment of Dragoons, War of the Revolution.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon the military
service of a Joseph Young or Youngs who served in Moylan's Dragoons
in the Revolutionary War.

The Revolutionary War records show that Warrant No. 10683, for
one hundred acres of bounty land was issued December 28, 1793, on
account of the service of Joseph Young, private in Moylan's Dragoons.

This office has no further information in regard to this Joseph 
Young because of the destruction of papers in his claim for bounty
land when the War Office was burned in 1800.

Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
