The claim of Rebecca Osborn for Bounty Land under the act of 3rd March 1855- has been suspended for record evidence of her husband's service - She has no means of knowing in what Company her husband claimed to have served.
Will you be kind enough to inform me of the names of the officers under whom his services were alleged to have been rendered, so that I may write to North Carolina and ascertain whether or not the required evidence can be procured.
It is wholly impossible to procure an examination of the rolls in the State when he served without giving the names of his officers - He has been dead many years and his widow has no clue to the particulars of his alleged service
