Thanking You I am Cordially Yours. Addie M. Cotter Registrar Wauconda Chapter D.A.R.

I called the General Land Office by phone to find which one of these warrants was located, so I could use that one only in this letter. Neither one was located, as reported by Mrs. Hathaway, for B.L.O., so I used both - MMS

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Simion Bradford, and Brigadier General David Worcester.
There is no claim for pension or bounty land on file based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Simion (Simeon) Bradford.
The records show that warrants Nos. 2285 and 2514 for 850 acres of bounty land were issued on account of the services of David Wooster, Brigadier General, War of the Revolution. The warrants were issued to Thomas Wooster, administrator. No relationship to that officer stated.
This office has no further information in regard to David Wooster because of the destruction of papers in such early bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
