Sir,
In answer to your letter of the 12 ult to the Secretary of War I have to inform you that it appears from the original declarations of Daniel Crownover, which are on file in this office, that he enlisted in the revolutionary war for limited periods and was finally discharged in October 1781; he did not therefore acquire a right to bounty land from the United States; no soldier of the revolution being entitled to such bounty witness he enlisted for during the war and continued to serve until the end thereof in 1783.

Madam:

I have to advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services.

You were advised on August 3, 1926 that the history of Daniel Crownover, S. 32189, which was furnished you on that date, was that of the only soldier (all spellings of that surname searched) by that name, found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, hence there is no information in regard to a soldier by that name of Pennsylvania.

Respectfully,

WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.
