Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 145 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued September 24, 1790 to Peleg Sanford, assignee, on account of the services of Lieutenant William Beaumont of the Connecticut Line, 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 November 1800.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

Will you be kind enough to send me a copy of the Pension Certificate of Lieutenant William Beaumont of a Connecticut Regiment in Washington's Army? This is desired as a means of securing admission for my mother to the ranks of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
An early reply will be appreciated very much indeed.

Dear sir ;-
One of my ancestors was JAMES MASON, living at Lebanon, Conn., where he was born 7th April, 1759. In the Report of the Adj. General of Conn., on the Revolutionary War period, and soldiers, on Page 116, there appears the name of JAMES MASON, LEBANON, CONN., as having enlisted there, (at Lebanon, Conn.) Sept. 25th, 1776.
Kindly advise if he was a pensioner, and if your records show his term of service, also date and place of death. (I have it as "Died at Preston, N.Y., Sept. 10, 1820.")
2nd.
Another ancestor was William Beaumont. Page 229, of said Adj. Genl. of Connecticut's report, gives this data. Sergeant, Mar. 20, 1777. Q.M., May 24th, 1878. Ensign, June 1st, 1878. Lieut., Oct. 8th. This, I think, was in the 8th regiment, but possibly in the 5th.
I should like to know if he became a pensioner, and if at his enlistment, the record shows his parent's names, his place of birth, etc. He also enlisted from Lebanon, New London Co., Conn.
Thanking you in advance for such information as your records may reveal,
Yours truly ,
C.O. Carpenter

It does not appear that pension was ever claimed on account of his service.

Letter returned thru Miss Carr Asked for Lt. Wm Beaumont of Lebanon, Conn. Sergt & Lt. and served until Jany. 1, 1783. Elijah Parks - Woodbury or Bethlehem (Conn) wife Anne Beaumont dau. Wm 1st ch. born 1773
Madam:
In response to your letter dated the thirtieth ultimo, addressed to Dr. Wiley and forwarded to this Bureau for reply, you are advised that the records show that a Warrant numbered 145, for two hundred acres of bounty land, on account of the services of William Beaumont as a Lieutenant of the Connecticut troops in the War of the Revolution, was issued September 24, 1780, to his assignee, Peleg Sanford.
There is no further information concerning said officer in this Bureau, as there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of the War Office, in 1800.
This Bureau is unable to furnish the record of a soldier unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the Revolutionary War records, fails to show such a claim for any Elijah Parks, therefore there is no information on file.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Honorable Charles S. Deneen United States Senate Washington, D.C.
My dear Senator:
In response to your letter of February 19, 1929, transmitted to this bureau from the War Department, I have the honor to advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 145 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 24, 1790 to Peleg Sanford, assignee, on account of the services of William Beaumont , Lieutenant of the Connecticut Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever relative to his family, due to the destruction of papers in said  such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Should you desire information relative to the location of the land, it is suggested that you apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city.
Very truly yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
