Revolutionary War Section.
Gentlemen:-
Please may I have a certificate on my ancestor
Capt. Joseph Shayler who served in the Revolution as Lt., etc. He enlisted in Wallingford, Conn. and died in Ohio, Mar. 4, 1816.
I would be glad to have embodied in the certificate all the family data therein furnished by him, and greatly appreciate anything you may do to help along this feature. I made application to the Sons many weeks ago but they want further evidence than I already have been able to secure and suggested that it may be contained in your office.
Thanking you,
Very truly, Edwin H. Cox.

V.L.H.
Commissioner April 29, 1921.
Mr. Edwin H. Wilcox, Room 1333 Stock Exchange Building, Chicago, Illinois.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 5 th instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of Joseph Shayler as a Lieutenant in the Connecticut Line on Warrant No. 1,960 which issued September 16, 1781.
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.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
