Dear Sir:
The record of Henry Hardman follows as shown by the records of this office.
Warrant No.1045, for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued June 11, 1790, on account of the services of Henry Hardman as major of the Maryland line, War of the Revolution.
There are no statements on file which were made by the applicant for this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in such early claims for bounty land, when the War Office was burned in 1800, hence, this office has no further information in regard to this officer, and none whatever in regard to his family.
If you desire information in regard to the location of this land, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
Executive Assistant

Miss A. Eleanor Hull,

Baltimore, Md.

Madam:
In response to your undated letter received the 12th instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to John Hardman described by you.
Said records show that a Warrant numbered 1045, for four hundred acres of bounty land issued June 11, 1790, to Henry Hardman on account of his service as Major of Maryland troops in the Revolution.
There is no further information concerning him, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed when the British burned the War Office in 1814, and it soes not appear that he ever applied for pension.
Very respectfully,
J.L. Davenport,
Commissioner.
