Sir:
I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No.1734 , for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued June 26, 1797, on account of the services of John Poulson, Major of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
Said warrant was issued to Samuel Marsh, assignee.
There are no further data as to his service and none whatever as to his family owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
