Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which
you request the Revolutionary War records of James and Samuel Coleman, both of Virginia.

The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension of bounty land found based upon service of a James Coleman of Virginia.  The record of Samuel Coleman which follows is that of the only Samuel Coleman of Virginia found [illegible— typed over] Revolutionary War records of this office.

The records of this office show that Warrant No. 469 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued January 6, 1795 to Robert Means, assignee, on account of the service of Samuel Coleman, Lieutenant in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.  There is no claim for pension on file on account of his service in that war.

There are no further data in regard to the service of Samuel Coleman, and no data as to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800, and in 1814.

If you desire information relative to the

location of the bounty land referred to herein, it is suggested that you apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and cite the following data;

Warrant No. 469-200 acres-issued January 8, 1795.
