Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information in regard to Jeremiah Jackson and William Campbell, soldiers of the Revolutionary War from Massachusetts.
From the records of this office it appears that Warrant Number 1134 for one hundred and fifty acres of bounty land was issued September 14, 1792 to John Stephenson, assignee, on account of the services of Ensign Jeremiah Jackson of the Massachusetts Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information relative to his services, and no data as to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to afford any data in regard to a William Campbell as described by you.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator
