Madam:

I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it
appears that 200 acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant #2316
which issued August 4, 1789, to John Barnaby, administrator, on account
of the services of Lieutenant John Carson of Colonel Harrison's
Artillery, War of the Revolution.

There is no further data on file as to this officer and no data
at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such
claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

In order to identify any particular soldier named Carson the
full name is essential and as much as possible of the following data:
place of residence at enlistment and after service, approximate dates
of birth and death, and first name of widow.

Respectfully,

Commissioner
