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 Executive Assistant to the Administrator
