Madam;

I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 1759 for 500 acres of bounty land was issued February 25, 1800, on account of the services of Colonel Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of the South Carolina Line War of the Revolution.

There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800.

Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

Dear Sir:

I would like to trace the family of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of Charleston, South Carolina. He was our first ambassador to France, and I would particularly like the names of his children and any information concerning them. I do not know whether or not you have in your files information of this kind, but if you have not, can you tell me where I could find it?

Very truly yours,
Harriette M. Rea.
