Honorable William C. Houston, House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Houston:
In response to your letter dated the 25 th instant, I have the honor to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford information in regard to any officer named Charles Jones other than Charles Jones, a Lieutenant of Virginia troops, on account of whose services bounty land warrant No. I,169 for two hundred acres was issued February 24, 1797, to John McKim assignee.
There is no further data on file relative to said soldier, as the papers of claims allowed prior to 1800 were destroyed when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
J. M. [unclear] Commissioner.
