Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information in regard to Elijah Wadsworth, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 2357 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued October 7, 1789 on account of the service of Elijah Wadsworth, Captain, Sheldon's Continental Dragoons, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data relative to his service and none whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.
