Mrs. W. R. Jackson Fort Pierce Florida
Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that 500 acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant #1935 which issued October 7, 1789, on account of the services of Josiah Starr, a Colonel in the Connecticut Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no data on file as to family and no further data as to soldier, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Respectfully,
Commissioner
