Mrs J. M. Andrews
Wharton, Texas

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of January 29, in which you request the record of James or John Elijah Teague, of South Carolina, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of any James or John Elijah Teague.

You are furnished herein the record of John Teague, the only soldier of that name found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not shown.

The Revolutionary War records show that Warrant No. 12632, for 100 acres of bounty land, was issued October 7, 1795, by the United States, on account of the service of John Teague, a private of the South Carolina Line, War of the Revolution.

There are no further data on file relative to his service and none as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.

For information in regard to the location of said land, you should apply to The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C., quoting the above data.

Very truly yours
[signature area blank]
A. D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator

Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 23" instant, you are advised that Warrant No. 12,632, for 100 acres of bounty land was allowed October 7, 1795, by the United States, on account of the service of John Teague a private of the South Carolina ["Troops" crossed out] Line, War of the Revolution. There is no further data on file relative ["to said claim" crossed out] to his service & none as to his family owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

For the location of said land you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington D. C. quoting the above data.

For information relative to land granted by the State of South Carolina, as cited in your letter, you should consult the archives of that state.

Very respectfully,
S/GM Seltzgober
Commissioner.

Mrs. William M. Swain,
Box 345, Pendleton, 
Indiana.

Madam:
In response to your letter of the eleventh instant, you are advised that on March 19, 1916, you were furnished the history of the bounty land claim of John Teague, the only soldier named John Teague found in the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, and it is not the practice of this Bureau to furnish the same record more than once to any person.

You are further advised that the Revolutionary War pensioner, William Teague, of Tennessee, formerly resided in Laurens District, South Carolina, and did not go to Tennessee from Stokes County, North Carolina. He therefore, does not appear to be the subject of you inquiry.

Very respectfully,
[signature illegible]
Commissioner.

Please advise me if there is Rev.
pension record of James of John Elijah
Teague of S.C.  (J.E. Teague)
I have family record that a
J. Elijah Teague served in the Rev War,
but do not know if the "J" was for
"James or John" both these, being names
of my ancestors sons, and one of
these being the first name of Elijah Teague.
If you have record of either John or James
Teague please send copy.
