Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of John Patton, of North Carolina; John Winters, of New York or Georgia; Adam Banks, of Virginia; John Farris, of Virginia; Abner Vaughan, of Virginia, and Edward Wills, of Virginia.
Because of the large number of requests for records of Revolutionary War soldiers, and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request relative to soldiers of that war. The record of John Patten, the only soldier of that name of North Carolina, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office, is furnished you herein as shown in the papers on file in the claim for bounty land based upon his service in the Revolution.
The date and place of birth of John Patten and names of his parents are not given.
John Patten served as Colonel of the North Carolina line, War of the Revolution, no further details of service given.
September 4, 1804, Hans Patten and Ann Cambreling, the only children of John Patten, deceased, made application in Beaufort County, North Carolina, for bounty land on account of the services of their father as colonel in the Revolutionary War.
Warrant No. 194, for 500 acres of bounty land, was issued March 14, 1805, in their favor.
There are no further data on file in regard to the family of John Patten.

If you desire information in regard to location of the land referred to, you should address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, Washington, D. C., furnishing that official with the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
