Sir:

In response to your letter of the 4th instant, I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that one Jeremiah Conine of the Virginia Troops and Continental Dragoons was allowed pension on account of said services, Survivor File 42142.
It also appears that Warrant No. 12010, for one hundred acres of bounty land was allowed December 27, 1794, on account of the services of Jeremiah Conine, Virginia Continental Line, Revolutionary War.
There is no further data on file as to the allowance of said bounty land claim, owing to the destruction of the papers in such claim when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

For the location of said land, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D.C. citing all of the data in the second paragraph of this letter.

Respectfully,

Commissioner

Dear Sir:

I do not know whether this letter should be to the Pension Office or to the General Land Office or to both, and I am therefore sending it to the Department for reference to the proper bureau within the Department, and I am enclosing a carbon copy for your purposes in making the reference if it should be necessary to refer it to both offices. 
I am informed that sometime during or shortly after the Revolutionary War probably on or about the 9th day of July 1788, a land warrant was issued by the United States Government to one Jeremiah Conine who had been a soldier in the American Army during the War of the Revolution.  I haven't any other information except that this warrant is supposed to have been signed by a man named G.V. Pranfit.  Perhaps your record will show that he was at one time an officer of the General Land Office, or what corresponded at that time to the Land Office.
Can you tell me from the records of your department either the Pension Office or the Land Office, or both, whether or not there was one Jeremiah Conine who served in the American Army in the Revolutionary War and, if so, whether or not he was ever given any pension or other gift or bounty by the U.S. Government, and whether or not there was ever issued to him any land warrant by the U.S. Government and, if so, the date and such references as
Page 11

you can give me which will enable me to determine the location of the land covered by the warrant or other deed or grant.

Yours very truly

Judd Dewey

P.S. - The name may have been spelled Canine instead of Conine.

Sir/

In your official authority I want to know if Jeremiah Conine name is on record of the Revolutionary War, if so is there not a portion of Military land coming to him for his services during said War, if there is please tell me where located.
He was a Pensioner, and only drew four or five year before his death, which was in 1832.  I want to know if there is still some back payments previous to making his first draught, besides the land.  I am his oldest son (Richard Conine) and he told me he had never drew his land, then requested me to attend to it.  I have been rather careless in attending to it, but am now anxious to know how it stands.  Please let me know the whole particular for there is without doubt something there for his heir. 

Respectfully,

Richard Conine

P.S. - You will probably find the name spelled Kornine or Konine, Cornine, we now spell it Conine.  I think Parker of Mansfield Ohio made the application for his Pension then.
Page 13

he put it in the hands of Thomas McMahan of Loudonville, Ohio.  I would like to know as soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Commissioner:

I have a letter request this morning form one of my Ohio constituents for information regarding one Jeremiah Conine, who was buried in the Perrysville, Ohio, cemetery and served in the Revolutionary.  Some of his descendants would like to have copy of his war record if it is available.  The only facts they seem to have regarding him is that he emigrated to Richland County, Ohio, in 1811 and resided there until the time of his death.

I shall appreciate any information you may be able to give me from your files about this man.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Sir,

I am trying to find where I can locate a Jeremiah Conine a Revolutionary soldier, but I am unable to tell exactly what state he enlisted from but think it was Virginia or Marland or Penn. but I am not positive his name is on record in Washington D.C. he received a land warrant which we always thought was in NY state. I wanted information regarding to that and also I did want to find out where he enlisted I want to find out also if there is
Page 20

any record of Richard Conine who served in the 1812 war he was in Ohio the time of the ear he was one of those that was taken in the event of an emergency he was too young at the time to enlist for army service but he volunteered to help clear out roads for the troops to go thru as he as working a tree fell on him and broke his hip bone he always suffered with it as long as he lived but he never was pensioned or drew a dollar for his services is there anything in either of these cases that can be found if the land warrant can
Page 21

be found than will be quite an estate as there was nothing done with it at the time but I am told that the heirs now can get it so if there are anything in it we need it.  I am a widow of our own war 61,65 and I want the record of those old soldiers as one Richard Conine is my own Grandfather the other is his father. I want the information from both so can join the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.  I was told to write to you or if not correct to military sec. war dept. or the Com of Pensions please do the best you can for me from
