Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Hammond, of Fleming County, Kentucky. You state that he received Warrant No. 2622, for bounty land, from the government, and that a warrant with the same number was assigned to one David Flowerree.

The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of a David Florerree, under any spelling. The record has been found of a John Hammonds or Hammond, of Fleming County, Kentucky, which is furnished below as found in pension claim, S. 31094, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. The land to which you referred was granted by the state from which the soldier served.

John Hammonds was born August 26, 1755; the place of his birth and names of parents are not shown.

While residing in Fauquier County, Virginia, John Hammonds enlisted August 26, 1777, for a term of three years, served as private in Captain Elias Edmunds' Company, Colonels Thomas Marshall's and Porterfield's Virginia regiment, marched to York where he was stationed two years six months, then marched to Charleston, South Carolina, and from there, to Hillsborough, North Carolina, to take charge of stores deposited there, was in no battle during his service and was discharged after having served the term for which he enlisted.

John Hammonds was allowed pension on his application executed August 9, 1832, while a resident of Fleming County, Kentucky. He signed John Hammonds.
Page 11

In 1832 the soldier, John Hammonds, stated that he received a
warrant from the State of Virginia, for bounty land due him on
account of his service in the Revolutionary War, and that he sold
said warrant to an individual, whose name, or other details in
regard to the transaction were not given.

There are no family data shown in the claim.

In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name of
person paid and possibly the date of death of John Hemmonds, you
should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office,
Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Gentlemen:
John Hammond, my Revolutionary ancestor
received bounty land from the government, No. 2622.
Another record shows that a warrant of the same
number was assigned to David Flowerree.

I understand that John Hammond sold his
bounty land. Could this account for two men
having the same warrent number?

If it is possible for you to give me the
location in Fleming County, Kentucky, of this
land, I will appreciate it very much.

Sincerely,
Alice Howard Campbell
