BA-J/ady James Hyde B.L.Wt.No.958-200
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Matthew Hyde, Ely Hyde, or Agariah Hyde, all spellings of the names searched.
The records of this office show warrant No.958, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued October 22, 1789, to Theodosius Fowler, assignee, on account of the services of James Hyde, Lieutenant of the Connecticut Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
