Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington D. C.
Dear Sir:
Will you please give me the record of the service of James Reed of Rowan County, North Carolina, in the Revolutionary War?
Colonel Reed served from 1776 to 1782 when he was mustered out. His Titles were lieutenant afterwards captain and finally a colonel and he is said to have died in 1802.
Yours truly,
GSD/LH

Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1865 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued November 11, 1791 on account of the services of Captain James Read of the North Carolina Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services, and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
His name does not appear as Reed .
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
