Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Reese or Rezin Davis.

The records of this office show that Warrant 4566 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 25, 1789, on account of the service of Rezin Davis as captain in the Maryland line during the Revolutionary War.

There are no further data on file relative to the soldier and none whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.

The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any information in regard to a Reese Davis, searched under all spellings of the name.

Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant to the Administrator
