Corinth, Miss
Madam:

I have to advise you from the records of
this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 1314
for 200 acres of bounty land was issued May 25,
1792, on account of the services of Lieutenant
Abner Lamb of the North Carolina Line, War of
the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as
to his services, nor any data on file as to his
family, owing to the destruction of papers in such
claims, when the War Office was burned in 1814.
The above noted Abner Lamb is the only soldier
of that name found on the Revolutionary War
records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.

The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800"" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent
dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800.
