Mrs. Effie W. Thompson, Joplin, Missouri.
Madam:
In response to your letter of September 2, 1920, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Timothy Bixler , a Colonel of the Massachusetts Continental Line, War of the Revolution, was allowed 500 acres of bounty land on Warrant No. 90, which issued April 1, 1780.
There is no further information on file as to his services and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
It does not appear that a claim for pension was made on account of his services.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
