Sir:-
So far I am all Replying to your request for information concerning Louis Phillipe Ferdinand Provendice, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, you are advised that one Louis Provandie, which is believed to be the soldier referred to, made an application for pension on July 3rd, 1828, at which time he was residing at Champlain, Clinton County, New York, (age not stated), and his pension was allowed for his actual service as a private in Captain Thomas Voss' Company, Col. Crane's Regiment of Mass. Artillery, Revolutionary war. Length of his service or place of his enlistment not stated.
It also appears that he received a land warrant, numbered 4886, July 12th, 1797, for his services as a gunner in Col. Crane's Regiment, Mass. Artillery, but no information can be furnished by this Bureau concerning same as the records and nearly all the papers pertaining to pensions and bounty lands issued by the Government prior to 1814 were destroyed by the burning of the War Department buildings in that year and in 1800. It is possible, however, that the location of this grant of land can be obtained upon application to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, by giving the soldiers full name together with the data above set forth.
