I have two other great-great grandfather that served
in the Revolution, whose war record I would like
to have. They are Colonel Stephen Bayard and his
father in law Colonel Aeneas MacKay, both were
from Penna Col. MacKay was also a soldier in
the French & Indian War. He served as a captain
with Washington at Fort Necessity. Would there
be any record of his service of the French Indian War?
He died Feb. 14, 1777, and his wife Mary
received a pension for a number of years. Col. MacKay
had been stationed at Fort Pitt before the Revolution. I
would like to have his war record of both war[s]
if possible.  Colonel MacKay[s] daughter Elizabeth
Married Stephen Bayard who was from Phila, His
former home being Bohemia Marrow, located both 
In Maryland & Deleware. But when the war broke
out I think he was in Phila. I have given for all
the information I have on these ancestors of mine, 
and would be extremely grateful if you could
give me their war records. Especially the battles
in which they fought.
Thanking you most kindly
Very truly yours,
F. K. Fawcett

Dear Sir
The records of this office show that Warrant Number 190 for
four hundred and fifty acres of bounty land was issued November 8, 1789, in favor of Stephen Bayard,
on account of his services as Lieutenant Colonel,
Pennsylvania Line, War of Revolution.

There are no further data relative to his service and none
whatever relative to his family due to the destruction of papers
in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
