Sir:
In response to your letter of the 4" instant, I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that one Jeremiah Conine of the Virginia Troops and Continental Dragoons was allowed pension on account of said services. Survivor File 43143.
It also appears that Warrant No. 12010, for one hundred acres of bounty land was allowed December 27, 1794, on account of the services of Jeremiah Carnine, Virginia Continental Line, Revolutionary War.
There is no further data on file as to the allowance of said bounty land claim, owing to the destruction of the papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
For the location of said land, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C. citing all of the data in the second paragraph of this letter.
Respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.

The name Geremiah Conine has not been found on the rolls on file in this Department of any organization of Virginia or Continental troops in service in the War of the Revolution. The Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C., is the custodian of the papers upon which bounty land warrants were issued, and as the collection of Revolutionary War records on file in the War Department is far from complete, it is suggested as a possibility that information concerning any land warrant that may have been issued to a soldier as mentioned within can be obtained from the Commissioner of Pensions.
The Adjutant General.

to know if there is any thing in it if so do please help us out we do certainly need it if any thing is there to be had some of the heirs think that some of the set have been to see about it and have been caught off But I never thought that way but I don't know. Some say the warrant is in N.Y. was sold and money put in the N.Y. Treasury for the heirs when called for Please will you do me the favor to tell me how to do if you are not the right one there are several looking this up but I am an heir also let me hear from you soon Please inform me I am as ignorant as this pencil about this kind of work Mary L Terrell Flavarden Iowa A.R. 2

Dear Sir:
I am trying to trace the history of my Grandfather, Jeremiah Conine. I had thought, perhaps, your office might assist me. I understand from our member of Congress, Mr. Lieberman that you keep a record of soldiers' warrants in your office. I find by the records in Dept of the Interior that he enlisted in the War of the Revolution in Febry 1781 and served till Aug 1783 as privt. under Capt Howell, Col. Gordon and White Comdy Regiment. Enlisted in Berkeley Co Va. Applied for pension

Oct. 13. 1825, Resic in - at date of application Ki. 2nd Co. Ohio Date of date of app. - his claim for pension was all - It is the General impression among his heirs that he laid a land (Baldies) at or near where New York City now stands - that said land was sold and proceeds put in an orphan fund. If such is the case it is well worth looking after. And I shall be under lasting obligations if you will advise me as to the best course to pursue in the investigation.
Yours Resp J. C. Boine

Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:-
I do not know whether this letter should be directed to the Pension Office or to the General Land Office or, perhaps, to both, and I am therefore sending it to the Department for reference to the proper bureau within the Department, and I am enclosing a carbon copy for your purposes in making the reference if it should be necessary to refer it to both offices.
I am informed that sometime during or shortly after the Revolutionary War probably on or about the 9th day of July 1788, a land warrant was issued by the United States Government to one Jeremiah Conine who had been a soldier in the American Army during the War of the Revolution. I haven't any other information except that this warrant is supposed to have been signed by a man named G. V. Pranfit. Perhaps your record will show that he was at one time an officer of the General Land Office, or what corresponded at that time to the Land Office.
Can you tell me from the records of your department either the Pension Office or the Land Office, or both, whether or not there was one Jeremiah Conine who served in the American Army in the Revolutionary War and, if so, whether or not he was ever given any pension or other gift or bounty by the U. S. Government, and whether or not there was ever issued to him any land warrant by the U. S. Government and, if so, the date and such reference as

-2-
you can give me which will enable me to determine the location of the land covered by the warrant or other deed or grant.
Yours very truly,
A handwritten signature in cursive, reading "Isaac Deane". The signature is written in dark ink and is positioned to the right of the closing "Yours very truly,".

P.S. - The name may have been spelled Canine instead of Conine.
