Dear Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau, it appears that Warrant Number 316 for five hundred acres of bounty land was issued, August 19, 1789, on account of the services of Thomas Bond , Purveyor in General Hospital, Continental Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The above noted Thomas Bond is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Very truly yours
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
