Sir:
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 1199 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued July 24, 1789 to John Pinkerton, assignee, on account of the services of Captain Samuel Kennedy of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1814.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
