Madam:

I have to advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant 2201 which was issued March 30, 1795, to John Ross, assignee, on account of the services of FRANCIS THORNSURY who was a Lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.

There are no further data on file as to the soldier and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.

The above noted is the only soldier by the names of Francis Thornbury that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau and said records fail to afford any information in regard to a Jacob Reid of Loudoun County, Virginia, or any other soldier named Thornbury.


Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner
