Madam:-
In response to your letter dated June 26, 1922, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 460 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued April 16, 1792, on account of the services of Lieutenant Philip Clayton, Virginia Troops, War of the Revolution. Date of birth + death not stated.
There is no further information on file, as to his services, nor any data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
