Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter relative to obtaining data in regard to Killian Leiby and John Leiby, soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land based upon the services in that war.
A careful search of the records has been made and such claims not found based upon the service of a Killian Leiby.
In the report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835, in regard to the pension establishment, the name John Leiby appears on a list of invalid pensioners who had been paid at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Agency.
The report shows that he was a private in the Revolutionary Army and received $20 per annum on account of disability, under the Act of September 29, 1789. His residence could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers in his application for pension, when the War Office was burned in 1800.
This office has no further data in regard to John Leiby.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Assistant to Administrator.
