I am seeking Revolutionary War
service record for Abram (or Abraham) Johnson.
He lived in Georgia after the war but
probably served with North or South Carolina
troops. I already have the record for S38019.

Here is the transcription of the text from the image:

The Adjutant General has sent me the War Department's records for three men named William Thomas who served in the Revolution from Pennsylvania. Do you have additional records for these men or for other named William Thomas from that state? The data I have is not sufficient to identify my William Thomas.

1. Lieut. William Thomas 11th Pa. Regiment (This regiment raised Sept. 27, 1776 and incorporated with the 10th Pa. Regiment June 24, 1778) Resigned April 9, 1777.

2. Private William Thomas of Capts. Thomas Church's and Capt. Samuel Smith's Company, 5th Pa. Regiment. Enlisted Oct. 20, 1777. Name last appears Sept. 5, 1780.

3. Private William Thomas of Capts. James Morris' and Capt. Isaac Seeley's Company, 5th Pa. Regiment. Name first appears May 1, 1777 and was paid to January 1, 1778.

Dear Madam, 

The records of this office show that Robert Rose served as Surgeon, 1st Regiment of Light Dragoons, War of the Revolution. On account of his service, he was allowed 400 acres of bounty land on warrant #1855, Issued May 28, 1789.

There are no statements on file in this office made in the application for this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in such early applications when the War Offices was burned in 1800, hence, no further data in regard to Robert Rose. 

It is suggested that further information in regard to the military record of Robert Rose might be obtained from the Adjutant General, War Department, this city. Information in regard to the location of the land which this officer received might be obtained from the Commissioner, General Land Office, this city: you should furnish that official the warrant number, acreage and date of issuance given herein. 

Very Truly Yours,

A.D. Milller
Executive Assistant
