Sir:

I advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant 1764 which was issued January 28, 1797, to Thomas F. Scott, on account of the services of Thomas Payne who served as a lieutenant in the Georgia Line during the Revolutionary War.

There are no further data on file relative to the soldier and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was durned in November, 1800.

This is the only soldier from Georgia by the name of Thomas Payne that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.

The Revolutionary War records of this bureau fail to afford any information relative to a Samuel Payne from

No charge is made for this service and one dollar,
the amount of your enclosures, will be refunded to you
in due time.

Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT
Commissioner.
