ABRAHAM KIRKPATRICK B.L. Wt. 1210-500 BA-J/MLB
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Abraham Kirkpatrick who, you state, served in the 8th Virginia Regiment in 1776, was later transferred to the 4th Virginia Regiment and was with General Anthony Wayne at Stony Point.
You are furnished herein the record of the only Abraham Kirkpatrick found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 1210, for three hundred acres of bounty land, was issued November 5, 1789, on account of the services of Abraham Kirkpatrick, Captain in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data in regard to the military service of Abraham Kirkpatrick, and no data, whatever, in regard to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land granted on account of the service of Captain Abraham Kirkpatrick, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours

Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1110 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued November 5, 1789, on account of the services of Abraham Kirkpatrick, Captain in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data as to his services and none whatever as to his family owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
In order to identify the record of any other soldier of the Revolution surnamed Kirkpatrick, as much as possible of the following information is necessary, in addition to the full name of the soldier: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Respectfully,
