Sir:
Could you give me any information about Land Grant No. 8151 which was received by Cornelius Bogart or Bogert June 11-1789 for service in Revolutionary War.
What I wish to know is, in what County in New Jersey he lived or enlisted (probably Hunterdon or Somerset, N.J.)

or was he living in Northumberland County Pa. when this was granted?
The Interior Dept. has no information about this. Thank you.
Yours sincerely (Miss) Arta L. Bailey - D.A.R.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Cornelius Bogart or Bogert who received land grant No.8151 June 11, 1789 for his service in the Revolutionary War.
The records of this office show that on June 11, 1789, Warrant No.8151 for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued on account of the service of Cornelius Bogart as private in the New Jersey line, War of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued to Matthias Denman, assignee.
There are no statements on file which were made by the applicant for this land, because of the destruction of papers in such early claims for bounty land when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, this office has no other information or data in regard to that soldier.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator
