Will you kindly give me the Revolutionary War record of Thomas and William Hord (spelled Horde, Hoard, etc) sons of John Hord who in 1746 received from King George II, one hundred acres of land in Virginia?
William Hord moved to Tennessee sometime after 1794. Can you give me the names of his children or tell me where I can find some record of them?
Very respectfully,

Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant # 1073, which was issued December 13, 1791, to Francis Graves assignee, on account of the services of Thomas Hoard, a Captain in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no data on file as to family and no further data as to soldier, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
The above noted is the only soldier named Thomas Hoard found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
[unsigned]
Acting Commissioner

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your request for information relative Thomas and William Hord, Horde, or Hoard, who served in the Revolutionary War.

Revolutionary War data furnished by the office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land made to the United States and based on the military service of soldiers in this war. A careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the service of a Wiliam Hord, searched under all spellings.

The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant #1073 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued December 13, 1791, to Francis Graves, assignee, on account of the services of Thomas Hoard as Captain in the Virginia Line during the Revolutionary War.

There are no further data on file relative to Thomas Hoard and no data whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.

This is the only Thomas Hoard (searched under all spellings) that is found in the Revolutionary Was records of this office.

For information relative to the location of this land it is suggested that you address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, giving the warrant number, the acreage and the date the warrant was issued. 

Very truly yours,
[unsigned]
