Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your communication of August 7, in which
you request the Revolutionary War records of Azel Washburn who, you
state, served probably from Connecticut and died in Manchester,
Vermont, in 1801 or 1802, also, of Samuel Frisbie, born in Farmington
, Connecticut, August 24, 1763, married first, Mary Grant, and
second, Polly Green, and died in Verona, New York, in 1831.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched
and there is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon
service in that war of a Samuel Frisbie, under any spelling. Such
claims are the source of Revolutionary War data furnished by this
office. The record of only one Azel Washburn has been found and
there is no way to determine whether or not it is the one in which
you are interested. That record follows:
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant
No. 2279, for four hundred acres of bounty land, was issued March 5,
1798, on account of the services of Azel Washburn as Surgeon in the
New Hampshire Line, War of the Revolution.
This office has no record of statements made in the application
for bounty land, because of the destruction of papers in such early
applications when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, no
further data relative to Azel Washburn.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land
referred to above, you should apply to the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and cite the
number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER
