Sir:

I have to advise you from the records of this 
Bureau, it appears that [Underlined: Warrant No. 13075] for 100 
acres of bounty land was issued July 14, 1792, on 
account of the services of [Underlined: Patrick Daugherty] as a 
private in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.

There is no further information on file as to 
his service, nor any data on file as to his family,
owing to the destruction of papers in such claims,
when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

The above noted Patrick Daugherty is the only
soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of the Bureau.

Respectfully,

E. W. MORGAN
