Dear Sir:- In the July number of the D. A. R. Magazine I was much interested in its leading article on "Rev. Peneim Records Aid in Americanization" - I have recently received through the Adjutant General's Office the Rev. War Record of Service for Amos Morrill. All that they are able to give does not give me all I desire to know. and I am writing your office in the hope of getting such information -
I know from family sources that this Amos Morrill received Bounty Lands. near St Albans. Vermont. where he lived & died in 1810. I would like further particulars. and full date of death, also the name of his wife - and dates of her birth and death. with children by them. In fact any &

all information you may be able to supply.
As a matter of information I would like to know to how many departments or bureaus one should write in order to cover all information in a given case? I have a number about whom I lack data + would like to be set on the right track so as to save time + trouble.
Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter
Very Truly
Annie Morrill Smith
Anas Morrill was born May 9. 1748, probably Nottingham N. Hamp. (1769) married to E. an. Ed (1773) - + in 1793 to St. Albans. Vermont where he died 1810.

To the Commissioner of Pensions Washington D.C.
Dear Sir:- I have received from the Adjutant General's Office the Revolutionary War Record for one Amos Morrill, from Aug 1. 1775 - ending as Major in Sept. 1783. Family records say that he received land in the neighborhood of St Albans Vermont, where he died in 1810. I know his date of birth, as May 9. 1748. I would like whatever records your Office affords for this Amos Morrill. If wife (Peggy Day) is mentioned or children I would be glad if whatever is given. I want to make my genealogical notes as full as I possibly can - as descendants desire data

to qualify for patristic societies etc.
Thanking you for whatever you can give me - I am
Very Truly

Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1337 for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 11, 1800, on account of the services of Major Amos Morrill of the New Hampshire 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 November, 1814.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

Mrs. Hugh M. Smith, 78 Orange Street, Brooklyn, New York.
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 18 th ultimo, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 400 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of Amos Morrill as a Major of the New Hampshire Line, on Warrant No. 1337, which issued February 11, 1800. There are no papers on file relative to said claim as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore there is no further data in regard to him or to his family.
You are further advised that the Revolutionary War records fail to afford any information in regard to Reverend Isaac Morrill described by you.
This Bureau has no record of services rendered prior to the Revolution.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
