Mrs. W. R. Hubbard Arrow Rock Missouri.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter requesting information relative to John Blackwell, a Revolutionary War pensioner.
The records of this office show that Warrant No. 264 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 26, 1793 on account of the services of John Blackwell, Captain of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
This is the record of the only John Blackwell who served as an officer in the Virginia troops that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

Dear Madam:
You are advised that from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant Number 264 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued February 26, 1793 on account of the services of John Blackwell, Captain of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to his services and none whatever in regard to his family because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
A careful search of the Revolutionary War records of this bureau fails to show a claim for pension on file on account of the services of Thomas Winn or of Richard Winn as described by you.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 30 th and received the 31 st ultimo, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to show that a claim for pension was ever filed on account of the services of John Blackwell described by you, but it appears that a Warrant numbered 264 issued February 26, 1793, to John Blackwell, for three hundred acres of bounty land, on account of the  his services of John Blackwell as a Captain of the Virginia troops.
There is no further information concerning him, and his claim is not on file in this Bureau.
The records of bounty lands granted prior to 1800, are incomplete, many of the papers having been destroyed when the British burned the War Office in 1814.
Very respectfully,
L. Stillwell
Acting Commissioner.
The old book does not state to whom issued which is the reason I changed the above statement.

My dear Sir, - Will you please send me the Revolutionary data you have concerning John Black- well of Va. I think he was a Lieutenant, probably from Goochland County, Va.
Also send me Rev. data of Sam Dunn who applied for pen- sion in 1832 for services in Capt. John Budd Scott's Co of New Jersey.
Respectfully yours Mrs. W. R. Hubbard

Gentlemen:
I shall appreciate it if you can give me any information concerning the following men who served as officers in the Revolutionary War. I thought perhaps you had information on file pertaining to their war records, pensions, etc.
all of My records show that Thomas Winn was a Major in the Revolutionary War and drew his pay during his life time. He lived in Fluvanna, and was buried at Winnsville. A list of members of the Society of the Cincinnati does not give his name; nor does it give the name of Richard Winn of Virginia, for whom Winnsboro, Sumter County, S. C. is named. At the beginning of the Revolution he entered the service as First Lieutenant of South Carolina Rangers. Johnson's Traditions of the Revolution says he was made General, and fought many battles; also that he was a member of Congress. not as Hart
I should appreciate it if you would tell me whether my records are correct, and if their descendants or collateral relatives are entitled to membership in the Cincinnati.
In the list of Members of the Cincinnati, the name of Capt. John Blackwell , Original Member from Virginia, appears. Can you tell me what part of Virginia he was from, when he died, and if he drew a pension. If so, to whom it was paid.
Anything you might tell me of the above would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
(Mrs) Belle H. Denison
