Mrs. Minnie A. Rietz Box 368 Wheatland, Wyoming
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Jonathan Pinckney, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
The data furnished herein are obtained from the papers on file in the Revolutionary War claim for pension, S.43865, based upon the military service of Jonathan Pinckney in that war.
Jonathan Pinckney(the name also appears as Pinkney) enlisted in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York, March 3, 1776, served as a private in Captain Henry Tiebout's Company, Colonel Peter Gansevoort's Third New York Regiment; was transferred with his captain and company into Colonel Goose Van Schaick's First New York Regiment and was discharged June 9, 1783. He was in the battle of Peekskill, at the siege of Fort Stanwix, in the battles with General Sullivan against the Indians and at the siege of Yorktown and surrender of Cornwallis.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 13, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-four years and resided in Florida, Montgomery County, New York.
In 1830, soldier stated that his family then residing with him consisted of his wife, Eleanor, her maiden name and the date of their marriage not stated, aged sixty-four years; his son, Parker, aged fifteen years; and a grandson, Jay, aged seven years. The names of the parents of the grandson are not given and there are no further data as to the family.
The records of this office show, also, that Warrant Number 7619, for one hundred acres of bounty land was was issued August 3, 1790, on account of the services of Jonathan Pinckney, private of the New York Line, War of the Revolution.
Date of his death not on 9B

There is no way for this office to determine whether or not the two soldiers named above are one and the same man as the papers in the very early claims for bounty land were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
In order to secure the location of the bounty land, above noted, you should address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, citing the number of the warrant, date of issuance and acreage.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.
