The Commissioner of Pensions, Pension Office, Washington, D. C.
Sir:
It has recently occurred to me that it is possible that the Bureau of Pensions would have some record of an ancestor of mine who fought in the Revolutionary War, and I am writing to you in the hopes that you can give me some information. I desire the information in connection with the membership in the Society of the Cincinnati. The name of this ancestor was John Callender and his rank was a captain. He was present as an officer at the Battle of Bunker Hill but thereafter I have no clear account of his military service.
Any information you can furnish about him, particularly as to the names of his parents, will be very much appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,
Geo. R. Callender, Major, Medical Corps, U.S.A.

Sir:
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant no. 356 Warrant no. 356 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued March 31, 1794, on account of the services of Lieutenant John Callender of Colonel Crane's Regiment of Artillery, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The above noted John Callender is the only Respec soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, who served as an officer.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
