Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File B. L. Wt. 561-300, John Davis, Penn.

Penn.
Davis John,
B.L.Wk. 561-300-Capt. Issued Aug. 19, 1789, No papers.

From the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 561 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued August 19, 1789, on account of the services of Captain John Davis of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information 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 1814.
Very truly yours,
1 enclosure.
