THOMAS POSEY B.L. Wt. 1733-450-'91 BA-J/EEL:MLB
Dear Madam:
You are furnished herein the record of the only soldier named Thomas Posey, found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The Revolutionary War records of this office show that Warrant No. 1733, for four hundred fifty acres of bounty land, was issued December 7, 1791, on account of the services of Thomas Posey, Lieutenant Colonel of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
This office has no record of statements made in the application for bounty land, because of the destruction of papers in such early applications when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, no further data relative to Thomas Posey.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land referred to above, you should write to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and cite the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
