BA-J/ILL Elias Young S. 17802
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Peter Stephens, Jr. of Virginia, Elias Young of Rhode Island, and General Israel Putnam, also, the War of 1812 record of James Dever (Deverre) who, you think, served from Wythe County, Virginia, and was supposed to have received a land grant in Mercer County, Illinois.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of any Peter Stephens of Virginia. With the meager data furnished, it has not been possible to identify the record of the James Dever in whom you are interested. If you are able to furnish the approximate dates of his birth and death, and can state definitely the state from which he served, another effort will be made to aid you in your research. Various spellings of the surnames were searched.
The Revolutionary War records of Elias Young of Rhode Island, claim, S. 17802, and Israel Putnam are furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
