Honorable Will M. Whittington
226 House Office Building
Washington, D.C.

My dear Mrs. Whittington:
The data which follow were found in the papers on
file in the claim for bounty land based upon service of John
White in the Revolutionary War.

John White served as a private in the 2" Maryland
regiment, War of the Revolution, and was discharged at the close 
of that war. The date and place of enlistment, and the length
of his service were not given.

The date and place of birth of John White were
not given, nor the names of his parents and date and place of
his death.

John White was not survived by a widow, child, father,
mother or sister: he was survived by one brother, whose name was
not stated, but who was deceased in 1833. April 1, 1833, James
White, the son of this brother and only heir of the soldier, 
applied for the bounty land which was due on account of John White's
service in the Revolutionary War. James White was then in Anne
Arundel County, Maryland. Warrant number 1933 for one hundred acres
of bounty land was issued April 22, 1833 to James Whit.

If your constituent desires information in regard
to the location of this bounty land, she should apply to the 
Commissioner, General Land Office, this city, and furnish the
following data: Warrant #1933, 100 acres of bounty land, issued
April 22, 1833.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request information
in regard to a John White of Maryland, War of the Revolution.

The records of this office have been searched and only one
claim found based upon service of a John White who served in the Maryland
troops in that war. His record is given herein as shown in the
papers on file in the above noted bounty lan claim.

John White served as a private in the 2" Maryland regiment, War 
of the Revolution, and was discharged at the close of the war. The date
and place of enlistment, and length of service are not shown.

The date and place of birth, names of parents, and date and place
of death of John White are not given.

John white died without leaving a widow, child, father, mother or 
sister; he was survived by one brother, whose name was not stated, but who was deceased in 1833. On April 1, 1833, James White, the son to this 
brother and only heir of the soldier, applied for bounty land which was
due on account of the service of John White in the Revolutionary War. James
White was then in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Warrant number 1933 for 100 acres of bounty land was issued April
22, 1833 to James White.

For information in regard to the location of this land, you should
apply to The Commissioner, The General Land Office, this city, citing the 
name of the soldier, number of the warrant and acreage, and the war in which
service was rendered., also the date of issuance of said warrant.

Very truly yours,

A. D. HILLER,
Assistant to Administrator.

Honorable Will M. Whittington
226 House Office Building
Washington, D. C.

My dear Mr. Whittington:

Reference is made to your letter of March 2, in 
behalf of Mrs. Robert Topp of Greenwood, Mississippi, whose
letter you enclosed, who desires the Revolutionary war record
of William White, who may have served in that war from Maryland,
Pennsylvania or Virginia, whose son, Vachael, was born in 1765,
in Maryland, also, the records of William's two brothers, John
and Henry, and of his sons, John and Nathan, and the Revolutionary
War record of Roger Topp.

A very careful search of the Revolutionary War
records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or
bounty land found based upon services in that war of a William
White of Maryland, Pennsylvania or Virginia, who was old enough
to have had a son born in 1765, nor of a Henry White of Maryland,
Pennsylvania or Virginia, nor of a Roger Topp. With the meager
information furnished by Mrs. Topp, it has been impossible to
identify any particular record of a John White in whom she is
interested. The record is furnished herewith of a John White
of Maryland and of the only Nathan White of any southern state.
It is hoped that these two records will aid Mrs. Topp in her
research. 

Mrs. Topp's letter is returned herewith.

Very truly yours,

A.D. HILLER,
Executive Assistant
to the Administrator.
