Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to soldiers of the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War records of this office fail to show a claim for pension or bounty land on file on account of the services in that war of Elisha Munger or Giles Kilbourn, all spellings of the names searched.
The records of this office show that warrant No.1936, for five hundred acres of bounty land was issued December 12, 17—, to Theodosius Fowler, assignee, on account of the services of Elisha Sheldon, Colonel of the Second Regiment of Light Dragoons, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
