Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to James Lemin who served in the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that warrant No.1288 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the services of James Lemin, Lieutenant of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued March 31, 1796, to William Lemin, administrator, no relationship to soldier shown.
There is no further information on file as to his services, and no statement in regard to wife or children, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims made to the United States for pension and bounty land based upon military service of soldiers in that war.
A careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file on account of the services of John Lemon as described by you, all spellings of the surname searched.
From the records of this office, it appears that Warrant No. 1388 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the services of James Lemm, Lieutenant of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued March 31, 1796 to William Lemm, administrator, no relationship to the soldier shown.
There is no further information on file as to his services, and no statement in regard to wife or children, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
