Dear Madam:
    Reference is made in your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Isaac Holland and Colonel Francis Holland, of Maryland.  

   A search of the Revolutionary War records of this office has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found which was made to the United States based upon service of any Francis Holland.  The record has been found of an Isaac Holland of Maryland;  the data given herein were obtained from the papers on file in his claim for pension, S. 34928, based upon his service in that war.  

   Isaac Holland entered service in the fall of 1780, in George Town, Maryland (later District of Columbia), as drummer in Captain Lingan's troup of Light Horse, marched to Frederick Town, served from the spring of 1781 in Captain Bruce's company, Colonel Smallwood's Maryland Regiment and continued until November 15, 1783, where he was discharged at Baltimore, Maryland. 

   He was allowed pension on his application executed October 15, 1821, at which time he resided in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.  He gave his age then as "upwards of fifty-five years" but did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the names of his parents.  Isaac Holland made no reference to wife or children.  

   In order to obtain th date of last payment of pension, name and address of person paid, and possibly, the date of death of this pensioner, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General
