Mr. Lawrence R. Guthrie,
Bellflower, Missouri.

Sir:
  In response to your letter dated the 12” ultimo you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 200 acres of bounty land were allowed on accounts of the services of George Guthrie as a Lieutenant in Colonel Moylans’s Regiment of Cavalry, on Warrant No. 840, which issued May 25, 1793 to Peter Manifold assignee.
  There are no papers on file relative to said claim as they were destroyed when the War office was burned in 1800, therefore there is no further data in regard to him or his family.

  Very respectfully,

Washington Gardner
     Commissioner.

Dear SIRS:-

  With regard to the pension lists of the American Revolutionary War, Can you give us information regarding one, George Guthrie, (Perhaps the name appears spelled differently on the records) who was a Lieutenant in Col. Maylan’s regiment of Cavalry of Pennsylvania, George Guthrie is recorded by the census of 1790 as residing in Huntington County Penna. Also a tax list of about 1792 or 3 shows him to be. living in the same county at that time. did he ever apply for a pension? Prior to the forming of Huntington County that region was a part of Cumberland County with Carlisle as County-seat. If you are unable to furnish me any thing on this point will you kindly refer me to some source in any other Washington records. Indicate what method and fee is customary.

Yours Truly 

Laurence R. Guthrie
