Madam:
In reply to your letter dated the 27" and received the 29" ultimo, relative to John and George Jackson, you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the military history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim has been filed on account of his services, and that the pension records of said war fail to afford any information in regard to John Jackson described by you.
You are further advised that the above mentioned records show that the heirs (names not stated) of one George Jackson filed a claim (R. File 15,396), for half pay under the Act of July 5, 1832, on account of his services as a Captain of Virginia Vols. On April 3" 1856, their original application and papers pertaining thereto, were referred to the Committee on Revolutionary War claims in the House of Representatives and have never been returned, therefore this Bureau has no further information concerning the soldier.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
