Dear Madam:
You are advised that from the records of this bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 2711 for 200 acres of bounty land was issued January 17, 1800 to James Taylor, assignee of Francis Coleman, heir, on account of the services of Lieutenant Richard Coleman of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to the services of this soldier, 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 1804.
The above noted Richard Coleman is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
The records of this bureau fail to show a claim for pension or bounty land on file on account of the services in the Revolutionary War of Auguston or Augustine Willaims, Stephen Goggin and Joseph Dickinson.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.

Rev. and 1813 War Section.

There is no further information on file, as to the services of this soldier, 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 1814.
The above noted Richard Coleman is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
