Dear Sirs;

Will you please send me the Revolutionary War service of SAMUEL KEENE, of Maryland. Some records I find a Samuel Y. Keene and others a Samuel L. Keene. This may be the same person, but if there was both a Samuel Y. Keene and a Samuel L. Keene please give both.

Also please send Revolutionary record of Wilson Parker, of Maryland.

Respectfully
Emily E. Evans,

Mrs. S.T.B. Valentine,
Bellefonte, Pa.

Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 21" and received the 23" instant. you are advised that the records of this Bureau show that Samuel Y. Keene was a Surgeon's Mate, Maryland Line, Revolutionary War, and that bounty land warrant No. 213 for 300 acres of land issued September 5, 1805, on account of his services, and was delivered to T. Worthington.
There is no other data on file relative to the above, as the records of bounty lands issued prior to 1814 incomplete, the same having been destroyed when the British burned Washington in that year.
For the location of said land, you should apply to the General Land Office, Washington, D.C.

Very respectfully,
G.M. Saltzgaber
Commissioner.

Dear Madam:
You are advised that from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 213 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued September 5, 1805 on account of the services of Samuel Y. Keene, surgeon's mate, Maryland Line, War of the Revolution and was delivered to T. Worthington.

There are no further data on file in regard to the above named soldier because of the destruction of papers in such bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1814.

The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to show a claim for pension on file on account of the services of Wilson Parker.

Very truly yours,

A.D. HILLER
Assistant to Administrator.
