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 service, and a careful
search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account
of the service of Abraham Devoe.
For information relative to the location of land that was
granted on account of the Revolutionary War service of Captain Henry
Godwin you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, 
Interior Department, Washington, D.C., citing all of the following 
data:
Henry Godwin, Captain of New York Line, War of the Revolution, 
Bounty Land Warrant #829, for three hundred acres, issued August 19, 
1790, to Catelina Godwin, executrix.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner

Madam:
In response to your letter of the twenty-seventh
instant, I have to advise you, that from the records of
this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 829, for three
hundred acres of bounty land was issued August 19, 1790,
to Catelina Godwin, executrix, on account of the services 
of Captain Henry Godwin of the New York Line, War of the 
Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to this soldier
or his family, owing to the destruction of the papers in 
this claim, when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
It does not appear that pension was claimed on ac-
count of his services. 
Herewith is returned your dollar bill, as no fee is 
charged for this service. 
Rescpectully
Winfield Scott
