Samuel Hall of Mass.

in 1776.

In case you have this, please let me
have an abstract of it & also let me
know price of a photostat copy of the

Mrs. Bert Albert Tyler, 
Dalton, 
Georgia. 

Madam: 
I advise you that the name Samuel Hall appears only once on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau, as of Massachusetts, (B.L. Wt. 385-100). 

He was living in Raynham, Bristol County, Massachusetts in 1807. 

His place of residence at enlistment, his age and date of death are not stated and there are no date whatever on file as to his family.

If you desire photostatic copies of the original papers on his file in his claim for bounty land, the same will be furnished under the provision of the Act of August 24, 1912 at the rate of fifteen cents a page with twenty-five cents extra for certification if that is desired. 

The number of pages to be copied is four. 
The proper amount should be forwarded to this bureau by money order drawn to the order of Secretary Interior.                                                      
                                                         Respectfully, 
E. W. Morgan, 
Acting Commissioner.
