SIR:--

A constituent of mine desires to determine
what records the Bureau of Pensions may have regarding one John Singleton, who is reported to have been a drummer boy in the Revolutionary War.

There is not much material available, and the information that has been submitted to me
is scant, except to indicate that he was a resident of Durby (or Derby), Delaware, about 1800, and died in Wexford P. O., Pennsylvania. I recognize that this is rather meagre  information, but I shall appreciate it if you will give me the record of any and all John Singletons who might possibly fit this description.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Robt Simmons

Honorable Robert G. Simmons,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D.C.

My dear Mr. Simmons:

Reference is made to your letter in which you
request the record of John Singleton of Delaware
and Pennsylvania, War of the Revolution.

The records do not show a claim for pension or
bounty land on file on account of services of a John Singleton of Delaware and only one of Pennsylvania for Revolutionary War services.

Warrant No.10451 for one hundred acres of
bounty land was issued March 19, 1793 on account of the service of John Singleton, private in the Pennsylvania line, War of the Revolution.

There are no further data in in regard to his service and none whatever relative to his family, because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800.

Very truly yours

A. D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator.
