Honorable John J. Cochran House of Representatives Washington, D.C.
My dear Mr. Cochran:
In response to your letter of March 28, 1929, I have the honor to advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant No. 2158, issued March 25, 1790, on account of the services of Joseph Tucker, a Lieutenant in the Massachusetts Line during the War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file as to the soldier and none as to his family owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
The above noted is the only soldier by the name of Joseph Tucker who served in the Revolution as an officer from Massachusetts.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
