Mrs. D. B. Hollingsworth Edgefield S. C.
Madam:
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 2213 for 450 acres of bounty land was issued December 7, 1791, on account of the services of Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver Towles of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, 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 1814.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to John Bowles, who served with the South Carolina Troops.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
