Madam:
In response to your letter dated the second instant, you are advised that the papers in the bounty land claim of William Basey show that he applied for bounty land January 25, 1830, while a resident of Kentucky, and sixty-nine years of age; and that warrant No. 1,650 issued June 21, 1830 for 100 acres of land, on account of his services in Captain Churchill Jones' company of Colonel Washington's regiment of Virginia Cavalry on the Continental Establishment, from 1781 until the end of the war, when he was discharged at Richmond.
In the report of the Secretary of War which was printed in 1835, on the list of persons residing in Kentucky who had received the benefits of the Act of Congress passed May 15, 1828, appears William Basey, who was allowed $180. per annum on account of his services as a Sergeant in Colonel Washington's Cavalry. He died January 25, 1834, leaving a widow Jane Basey.
As claims under said Act were adjudicated in the Treasury Department, there are no papers on file in this Bureau, and no further information herein, relative to the soldier and his wife
Very respectfully,
J. M. [unclear]
Commissioner.
