Madam: *
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 487 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued June 1, 1792, on account of the services of Lieutenant John Campbell of the North Carolina 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 1814.
Respectfully,
