Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Nathaniel, Leverett, Hamilton and Leonard Bishop, all of Guilford, Connecticut, soldiers of the Revolutionary War; you request, also, record of Nathaniel Bishop in the Indian Wars about 1760.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of claims for pension having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of Leverett, Hamilton or Leonard Bishop. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office.
Recorded ref mLB
The record of Nathaniel Bishop has been found and is furnished you herein. This office has no record of services rendered in the Colonies prior to the Revolution.
The records of this office show that Warrant Number 2659 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued December 31, 1795, on account of the services of Nathaniel Bishop, lieutenant, Connecticut Line War of the Revolution.
There are no further data relative to his service and none in regard to his family due to the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours
A. D. MILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
