Francis Briscoe Gallaher, Box 255, Waynesboro, Virginia.
Madam:-
In response to your letter dated the 16" instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of Reuben Briscoe as Captain in the Virginia Line, on Warrant No. 2475 , which issued May 26, 1789.
There are no papers on file relative to said claim as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore there is no further data in regard to him.
Said records fail to afford any information in regard to George Francisco.
Very respectfully,
G. M. Stackgaber
Commissioner.
The same sent to Juliet H. Gallaher Apr. 5, 1918.
In sending letter I used highest no. of warrant because though not able to ascertain exactly, I think from experience that the low no. was not used, that is, land not patented on it - and the high no. was the reason on which the land was located. aw
