Honorable A. Piatt Andrew,
House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Andrew:
In response to your letter of the
twenty-ninth instant, requesting the names of the parents of Colonel John Glover of Massachusetts in the War of the
Revolution, I have the honor to advise you that that there is no general genealogical data in this bureau, the Revolutionary War records of which, consist of claims for pension and
bounty land only.
It does not appear that pension was claimed on account of Colonel John Glover's services and in the bounty land claim of his heirs, the names of the parents of the soldier
are not on record.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commissioner.
