Yours of the 25 th inst d addressed to the Third Auditor, has been referred to this Office, and in reply have to inform you that, the name of Dominick Welsh, is not returned on the Records of the Virginia Continental line on file in this Department, among those entitled to bounty lands from the U. States.
On examination of the Records of the Virginia State line, the name of Dominick Welsh, appears thereon, as a Soldier of Cavalry in that line; he did not therefore, acquire a right to bounty land from the Gen l Govern t , inasmuch as, the Resolutions of Congress, providing that bounty for the Soldiers of the Revolution, apply, exclusively, to those who enlisted in the Continental line of the Army for "during the war", and continued to serve to the end thereof in 1783 —
