Dear Sir
Can you give me any information in regard to one Jesse Cook, a soldier of the Revolution who enlisted from the State of Connecticut and after war settled in Pennsylvania (Susquehanna county). Would be grateful if I could find the Company and Regiment to which he belonged or for any other information in regard to him, as he was my Great grandfather.
Gratefully Yours

BA-7/ILL Qu Jesse Cook B.L.Wt. 385 - 300
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Jesse Cook, of Durham, Connecticut, or Wilmington, Vermont.
The records of this office show that Warrant #385 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued April 23, 1798, to Jesse Cook on account of the services of Captain Jesse Cook, of the Connecticut Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file regarding his service, and none whatever pertaining to his family, because of the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
No relationship between the two men with names Jesse Cook, referred to above, is shown, and there is no other soldier named Jesse Cook found on the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Should you desire information in regard to the location of the land granted on account of the service of Jesse Cook, you apply to The Commissioner, the General Land Office, this city, citing that official name of soldier, war in which he served, warrant number, acreage, and date of issuance, given above.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Assistant to Administrator.

I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 385 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued April 23, 1798 to Jesse Cook on account of the services of Captain Jesse Cook of the Connecticut Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
