Madam:
I have to advise you, that the records of this Bureau show that Warrant 12659, for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 4, 1794, on account of the services of James White, a private in Lee's Legion, War of the Revolution. On said records it also appears that Warrant 13965, for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 4, 1794, on account of the services of James White, a private in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution. Each of these entries refers to the other. For the location of said warrants or warrants, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C. citing all of the above noted data.
There is no further data on file as to said soldier, or soldiers, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November 1800.

A. For information in regard to warrants for bounty land that may have been issued at an earlier date, by the State of Virginia, you should consult the archives at Richmond, Virginia.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT, Commissioner.
