Dear Sir -
The heirs of Jas. Young are desirous of knowing whether or not any money is due them for his services in the Revolutionary War. He received for three or four years pension money, but for three years before his death he received nothing. He has been dead probably about twenty years. An answer will oblige us. very Respectfully &c J. F. W. L. Harlan
To the Com te of Pensions.

Gentlemen:
Nothing is due to the heirs of John Grant on account of their father's Revolutionary services. He applied under the Act of March 18, 1818, but was not admitted to its benefits. His widow drew a pension of $80. per annum ,all to which she was entitled.
Very &c
Correct copy of Bureau letter

John Yount.
The Kentucky Agency Book under the Act Mar. 18, 1818, shows John Yount, let. 18359. Rate $8 per an. Rank Pvt., Date of let. Nov. 10, 1821. Pension to commence Feb. 22, 1819; stricken from the Roll. July 23, 1823.
and The list of pensioners printed in 1835 shows on List of Fayette Co. Ky., Act Mar. 18, 1818 John Yount, Pvt., Annual allowance $96. Sums received $339.06., Penn. Line, placed on pension roll Nov. 10, 1821. Commencement of pension Feb. 22, 1819. —dead.
There are no papers found for the above noted claim and as this pensioner is not found on the two-letter combination books of old War invalids and widows compiled when the claims were arranged in 1870. they must have been lost or mislaid prior to that date.
The letter from the City Warland. dated Aug. 25, 1851 was removed from the claim of George Yunt where it had been incorrectly over

filed and answered and see copy of the Bureau letter dated Nov. 15, 1851 in which the soldier is called Grant by mistake, the word widow omitted. It was George Yount's widow Polly who got $80 per. annum.
From all of this it would appear that the claim of John Yount was lost in 1851.
