BOUNTY LAND WARRANT RECORD CARD*
NAME Ludvick Warner GRADE ? LINE Pennsylvania
WARRANT NUMBER 9790 ACREAGE 100 ISSUED August 8, 1796 to not shown
my note: Following this man's name another warrant no. 10569 is found, issued same day as 9790. I followed it up and found Ludvick Warner recorded under 10569. I called Int. Dept. Arch. and received the report (per Mr. Reiss) that Wt. 9790 is not there, but Wt. 10569 was issued for service of Ludvick Warner . So I think the entry in the old book is wrong; the information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800. Information concerning warrants surrendered to the Federal Government is to be found in General Land Office records in The National Archives. That the man's name was Ludvick Warner , not Warner Ludvick , hence the error was found & Wt. 9790 never used. MMH
