Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for information relative to Colonel Christopher Green of the Rhode Island Brigade in the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that on account of the service of Christopher Greene as a colonel of the Rhode Island line during the Revolutionary War, Warrant #790 for five hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 27, 1790, to Job Greene, administrator.
There are no further data on file relative to Colonel Christopher Greene or his family, because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
For information relative to the location of this land, it is suggested that you address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, giving the warrant number, the acreage and the date the land was issued.
Very truly yours
A.D. Hiller
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator
