Dear Sirs:-
 I had in the Revolutionary War a G-g-grandfather, "Col"(?) Henry Hawkins, whos daughter Permelia married in New York, probably at Brookfield , Madison County , about 1800 , one Horatic Gates Randall. I am trying to find out something about him. 
 I found in the U. S. Census 1790 for Pennsylvania, that at that time, one Lieut. Henry Hawkins lived in Philadelphia. The Adjutant Generals Office informs me they have no Penna. record of such a person but that
 "One Henry H. Hawkins served in that was as an ensign in Lansdale's Maryland Detachment. He was commissioned August 9, 1781, and the latest record of him on the rolls is dated April 16,1783, at which time he was present"
They referred me to your Department, saying that possibly you might be able to give some data on his service, about his family, his parentage, etc.
I also find in the statistical reports of Providence, R. I. the following " Born,  Feb.22, 1757- Henry H Hawkins, son Job and Hope."
Possible this is the same Henry H. If you can give me any data do so . Kindly
 Thanking you  in advance, I am 
 Very truly yours.

Royal Oak, Michigan 

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Henry Hawkins, War of the revolution.

Revolutionary war data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

You are furnished herein the record of Henry Hawkins, which is the record of the only Henry Hawkins that is found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office. 

The records show that Warrant No. 1057 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued (date not shown), on account of the services of  Lieutenant Henry Hawkins of the Maryland Line, War of the Revolution.

There is no further information in regard to his service and no data relative to his family, due to the destruction of property in such claims, when the War Office was burned.

Very truly yours
A. D. Hiller
Assistant to Administrator
