Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information relative to Captain William Power, War of the Revolution.
The records of this office show that Warrant Number 1713 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 7, 1789 on account of the services of Captain William Power of the Fourth Regiment of Artillery, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing  because  early to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
