Sir
During The last winter I made an enquiry at the request of the heirs of John Davidson , a Soldier of the Revolution, of Mr Stewart to ascertain whether the said Davidson had obtained his bounty land and described him as having been in the Connecticut line. His son informs me, that he supposed he was transferred to the New York line when the Troops marched to the South previous to the capture of Cornwallis, in which scene he participated, and died on his return home. You will much oblige the heirs of Mr Davidson by requesting Mr Stewart to examine the rolls of the New York Troops and inform me whether his name is found there. That he never had his bounty land is evident from the fact that he died before he reached home.
Most Respectfully
Yours E. Phillips
Hon James Barbour Secretary of War
