Dear Sir:-
For the purpose of qualifying my wife for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, I seek information concerning Samuel Brady.
I particularly wish his ancestry record if such is shown in your Library, and where they lived, and, if possible, immigration record of his collateral kindred.
In this connection I enclose copy of letter from War Department under date March 24, 1924.
Any charge in connection with this will be gladly remitted for promptly, and in this connection perhaps, if you have not the information, you can suggest another source for me to apply to.
Yours truly,
D. L. Webb

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your request for the Revolutionary War record of Samuel Brady of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, who died in 1811, in Pennsylvania.
The records of this office show that Warrant # 197, for three hundred acres of bounty land, was issued January 21, 1793, on account of the service of Samuel Brady, Captain of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file in regard to his service, and no data relative to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
This is the record of the only Samuel Brady or Bradey, found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The application for headstone for Samuel Brady is returned herewith, also a type written description of the service of Samuel Brady, both before the Revolution, and in that war.
Very truly yours

Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant #197 which issued January 21, 1793, on account of the services of Captain Samuel Brady of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to the soldier and no data at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
The above noted is the only Samuel Brady found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Respectfully,
Commissioner
