Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this
Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1080 for two hundred
acres of bounty land was issued May 19, 1797 to
George Matthews, assignee, on account of the services
of Lieutenant James Hamilton of the Virginia Line, War
of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services
and no data on file as to his family,owing to the
destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office
was burned in November 1800.
The above noted is the only Lieutenant James Hamilton
of the Virginia Line found on the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
Hays Haymaker
Acting Commissioner.

To the department of the Interior
Bureau of Pensions
Dear Sirs,
I trust that you may give me
a few moments of your time
I am trying to secure lineage
dates in order that I may
become a member of the order
Daughters of the American Revolution
I need the record of one person
only, to pass my application.

My first question is
Have you enlisted in the
pension roll, a Revolutionary
Soldier, James Hamilton
(Lient) to the U.S. in the Virginia
Page 7

line or on Continental
Establishment?

I knew there were pensions
granted to Rev. Soldiers in
1833 and perhaps prior to that
time,
If this said James Hamilton
was on the pension roll,
such information, would
be sufficient to grant the
passage of my application.
Should there be any dates
in the war department of
his age at the time he went
into the war, or his birth, as
some times is given.

I shall be very glad to receive
Page 8

any information along this
line, which can be given
to me.
I kindly thank you for
any information, I may
receive

Very truly Yours
Anna H. Brock.
