Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Levi Long and that of James Harrell, and furnish citations from 9" Annual Report of the Library Board, of the Virginia State Library.

There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in
the Revolutionary War of a James Harrell of Virginia, nor of a Levi Long, of Virginia. A claim for bounty land has been found, however, based upon service of Levi Long, of Virginia. His record follows as found in that claim on file under B. L. Wt. 924-100.

The date and place of birth of Levi Long and names of his parents are not shown, nor his age at any time.

Levi Long enlisted, the place not stated, just after the battle of Guilford Court House, served as private in Captain Parson's company,
Colonel William Washington's regiment of cavalry and continued in service until the close of the war.

April 26, 1819, Levi Long applied in Sussex County, Virginia, for bounty land which was due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War. On this application he was granted bounty land warrant No. 924, for one hundred acres, issued July 20, 1820.

For information in regard to the location of the land cited above, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city, and cite the number of the warrant, the acreage and the date of issuance.
