Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of October 17, 1932 requesting information in regard to William Cumming a soldier of the Revolution.

The revolutionary war records of this office show that on account of the service of William Cummins as private in the Maryland line during the revolution, warrant #11025 for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued august 14, 1795 to Fraz. Sherrard, assignee.

There are no further data on file relative to this soldier and one in regard to his family because of the destruction of the papers filed in bounty land claims when the war office was burned in November, 1800.

This is the only soldier by that name, searched under all spellings, who served from Maryland, that is found in the revolutionary war records of this office.

Very truly your

A.D. Hiller
Assistant to Administrator
