Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of September 20, in which you request the Revolutionary War record of William McCanne, who had a son, John, who enlisted January 1, 1777, in Doherty's North Carolina company, and was killed in battle October 4, 1777.

Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States
based upon military service of soldiers in that war.

A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the Revolutionary War service of a William
McCanne or McCann.

You are furnished, however, the record of John McCanne, son of William, as it is believed it will be of interest to you.

The records of this office show that John McCanne, of Duplin County, North Carolina, was the son of William and Ann McCanne;
the date and place of soldier's birth are not stated.

He entered the service, date and place not shown, served as lieutenant in Colonel Gideon Lamb's 6" North Carolina Regiment, and was killed at the battle of Germantown, October 4, 1777.

On account of the above-noted service of John McCanne, who died without issue, Warrant No. 883, for two hundred acres of bounty
land, was issued March 27, 1820, in behalf of Nathaniel McCanne, who was the oldest surviving brother and heir at law of the
soldier.

It is not stated whether or not the soldier was ever married.
