Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that two hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant 2626 which was issued July 30, 1793, on account of the services of JOHN BATMAN , a Lieutenant in the New York Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file as to the soldier and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The above noted is the only soldier by the name of John Bateman, found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau, and there is no record of a Barnett Bateman.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Houston, Texas March 31, 1926.
Commission of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir -
Have you any records concerning a pension to John Bateman or Barnett Bateman or the widow of either?
Both served in the Revolutionary War from the State of New York.
Thanking you for any information you may be able to give me.
Respectfully, Mrs. Mary Bateman Gervasi 1408 Sul Ross Ave. Houston, Tex.
