Mr. A. D. Hiller, Asst to Administrator,
Veterans Administration,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

File BA-J/EEL - - McCullars, McCullochs.

The information had from your office, and particularly your letter March 30, 1932, has been fully adequate as regards the soldier Alexander McCullar.
Your files do not contain information as to his parents or other relatives who came over on the same boat with him. Nor do the Georgia State records seem to hold the desired information. It is my thought however that in all probability the undermentioned records of soldiers may contain some such information as immediate relatives in the same section.

McCULLOCH, SAMUEL: Joseph Pannill, surveyor for Washington County Georgia,
was authorized to lay out unto Samuel McCulloch a tract of 345 acres of land in Washington County as " Bounty", May 17, 1784.

McCULLOUGH, PATRICK: Joseph Pannill, surveyor for Washington County, Ga.,
was authorized to lay out unto Patrick McCullough a tract of 287 - 1/2 acres of land in Washington Co. May 17, 1784, "Bounty" and was executed 28th June 1784, to Patrick McCulloch.

McCOLLERS, DAVID: Granted 200 acres upper side Long Creek about 7 miles from
Ogeechee River, entered Journal Augusta Land Court Dec 7 1773, and changed from upper to lower side of Long Creek Jan 13 1774.
Dont [Don't] know whether a Government grant or state grant.

MCCULLERS, BRYANT: 2nd Lieut, 5th Co, 2nd Batt. Burke County, Ga., Regiment of Militia Sept 24 1789. Captain -- Co, 2nd Batt 2nd Regmt Burke Co Ga, Dec 1794 (removed).

McCULLOUGH, JACOB, soldier from Richmond Count, Georgia, in Revolution, and given a grant of Bounty land.

If records in your files covering the above names may show dates of birth and time of coming to America or to Colony of Georgia, and with particular reference to names of parents or children or immediate relatives, will you be good enough to advise me. I think it quite possible these may have information of direct bearing on the family of soldier.
Thanking you, I am,

Very truly yours,
L B McCullough [signature]
