Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Captain Thomas Lee of the Lee family of Lyme or Saybrook, Connecticut, who married Mehitable Peck, of that locality, and received bounty land warrant No. 2608 for his military service.
It is regretted that this office has no further information in regard to Captain Thomas Lee who received the warrant cited by you, than that which was furnished you December 16, 1926, and June 9, 1937.
There is no claim for pension on file based upon his service in the Revolutionary War, nor for service of a Thomas Lee whose residence or wife is shown as you describe.
Very truly yours

In order to identify the records of the particular soldiers named Benjamin, Joseph and William Peek in whom you are interested, should they be on file, as much as possible of the following data in regard to each should be given: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.

THOMAS LEE B.L. Wt. 2608-300 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
You are furnished herein the record of the only Captain Thomas Lee found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 2608, for three hundred acres of bounty land, was issued April 4, 1792, on account of the services of Captain Thomas Lee, War of the Revolution. The name of the state to which service was rendered is not given.
There are no further data on file as to the service of Captain Thomas Lee, and no data, whatever, as 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 the location of the land referred to above, 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

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to Robert Simpson, Thomas Lee, William Bryan and John Smith, 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 William Bryan or John Smith as described by you, all spellings of the surnames searched.
The records of Robert Simpson, S.31365, and Thomas Lee, Wt.No.2608-300, are furnished you herewith on separate pages as found in the respective claims, based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours,
