Jeannette L. Bristol,
27 Lycoming St.,
Canton, Pa.

Madam;

    I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that a warrant numbered 9818, for 100 acres of bounty land, was issued July 12, 1792, in favor of Sophia Walker, administratrix of William Landen or Landon, on account of his services as a private in the Penn. troops, War of the Revolution.
    There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claim, when the War Office was burned in 1800.

                                  Respectfully,
                                
                                  Commissioner.

                                              S. 41.738

Madam:  

    In response to your letter dated the first instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to show a pension claim for any William Landen or Landon, but that said records do show that a Warrant numbered 9,819, for one hundred acres of bounty land, was issued July 12, 1792 in favor of Sophia Walker, administratrix of William Landen, on account of his services as a private in the Pennsylvania troops in the War of the Revolution.
    There is no further information in this Bureau concerning him, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office in 1800.

                                   Very respectfully,
                                             //s//
