Dear Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No.2469 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued January 17, 1800, on account of the services of George Yates, Surgeon's Mate, Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
Said warrant was issued to Reuben Zimmerman, guardian of Lawrence Catlett Yates, heir.
There are no further data on file as to his services or his family due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
Very truly yours
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
