Madam:
In response to your letter dated the fifteenth instant, you are advised that Warrant No. 224, for 200 acres of bounty land, issued March 6, 1795, to William Brownlee, on account of his services as a Lieutenant of Virginia troops, in the Revolutionary War.
There are no papers on file relative to said claim, the same having been destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
From the papers on file in this Bureau, it appears that Alexander Brownlee, who entered the service in 1777, as an Ensign in Colonel Grayson's regiment, served until he was killed at the battle of Guilford.
On February 15, 1845, a Warrant, numbered 2,353, for 150 acres of land, on account of the services of the said Alexander Brownlee, issued to his son and only heir at law, James Brownlee, a resident of Botetourt County, Virginia.

There are no pension claims on file for the above soldiers, and therefore, this Bureau has no further information concerning them.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Tiesman
Acting Commissioner.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter relative to William Brownlee who served in the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that warrant No. 2609 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued March 6, 1795, on account of the services of William Brownlee, Lieutenant of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
For information in regard to the location of the land you should address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, acreage, and the date of issuance.
Very truly yours
