ANDREW WAGGENER-B.L.Wt. 2424-400.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that warrant No. 2424 for 400 acres of bounty land was issued August 25, 1789 on account of the services of Andrew Waggener, Major of the Virginia line, War of the Revolution.
The Report of the Secretary of War printed in 1835, shows a list of Invalid Pensioners who were paid at the Virginia Agency but whose residences could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800. The name of Andrew Waggener is borne on that list as a Captain, pensioned at the rate of $120 per annum on account of disability incurred in the service, his pension to begin November 2, 1807. He died May 27, 1813.
This office has no further data relative to that officer because of the destruction of papers by fire in his claims for both pension and land.
For information relative to military service of the above noted soldier, it is suggested that you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of William Waggener, who received military bounty land warrant No. 3454 for two hundred acres; also, the record of Andrew Waggener, who received military bounty land warrants No. 5343 and No. 5344, the latter having married about 1760, Mary Chapman.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon the service of a William Waggener, under any spelling, nor is there a claim for pension on file based upon the service of an Andrew Waggener or similar spelling. The military bounty land warrants to which you refer do not pertain to the records of this office. It is suggested that information in regard to those warrants might be obtained from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, or from the custodian of old land warrants in Richmond, Virginia.
The records of this office show that application for bounty land was made to the United States based upon the service of Andrew Waggener. The number of the warrant was 2424 for four hundred acres and was issued August 25, 1789, on account of the services of Andrew Waggener as major of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no statements on file which were submitted at the time this application was made because of the destruction of papers in such early bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Information in regard to the location of this land may be obtained from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
