Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of William P. Quarles of Virginia, and died in Tennessee.
You are furnished herein the Revolutionary War record of the only soldier, namely William Quarles, who served with the Virginia troops, found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 1770 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued May 29, 1792 to Robert Means, assignee, on account of the services of Lieutenant William Quarles of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information in regard to his services, and no data in regard to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned. This office is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States, based upon his military service in that War.
In order to obtain the location of the above noted land, you should address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C., citing the following data- Wt.No.1770-200 acres-issued May 29, 1792.
Very truly yours

Gentlemen:
I advise you that this bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his services.
A search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of any soldier named William P. Quarles.
You are furnished the history of the only soldier named William Quarles found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau, who served with the Virginia Troops.
From the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1778 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued May 29, 1792 to Robert Means, assignee, on account of the services of Lieutenant William Quarles of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours,
