Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Captain Andrew Moore, Captain William Moore, Sergeant William Moore, Captain William Parsons of the Light Dragoons, Major General Samuel H. Parsons of Connecticut, George Parsons, Thomas Moore, Sam. Moore, David Moore, James Moore, Thomas Parsons, Jesse Parsons, also General William Moore and David A. or Druid A. Moore, of the War of 1812. 
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data, it has not been possible to comply with each request which requires such an amount of time and research. 
The records of Captain William Parsons and Major General Samuel H. Parsons are given herein as found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. 
Samuel H. Parsons Wt 1665-1100 
Warrant Number 1665 for eleven hundred acres of bounty land was issued on August 23, 1790, on account of the services of Samuel H. Parsons, of Connecticut, Major General, War of the Revolution. 
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever relative to his family due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800. 
William Parsons R. 16965 
William Parsons was Captain of the Third Regiment of Continental
Page 9

Dragoons, War of the Revolution, and so served until November 13, 1793. 
He died in 1797 in Norfolk, Virginia. 
On account of the Revolutionary War service of William Parsons, Warrant #1752 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued August 27, 1795, to Smith and Ridgeway, assignees. 
In 1839, his heirs were James Parsons, Willoughby Parsons, Abijah Parsons, Elizabeth Miller and Rebecca Corbell, but their relationship was not given. They applied for any land or pay that might have been due from the United States, on account of the Revolutionary War service of William Parsons, but their claims were not allowed. 
There are no further data relative to the service and family of William Parsons. 
Very truly yours A. D. HILLER 
Assistant to Administrator.

Dear Madam: 
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Samuel Holden Parsons, a soldier of the Revolutionary War. 
It appears from the records of this office that Warrant Number 1665 for eleven hundred acres of bounty land was issued on August 23, 1790, on account of the services of Samuel H. Parsons, of Connecticut, Major General, War of the Revolution. 
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever relative to his family due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800. 
The Revolutionary War records fail to show a claim for pension on file based upon the military service of Joel Barnard in that war. 
Very truly yours A. D. HILLER 
Assistant to Administrator.
