Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 600 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued June 29, 1789 on account of the services of James Delaplaine, Lieutenant in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to his services and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
