Dear Sir:
Please give me the Colonial and Revolu- tionary record of the following Ancestors, to use as the basis of admission to the
Sons of the Revolution.
Captain Charles Bolton, Springfield, Mass. and his son-in-law Aaron Morgan of Chicopee, Mass.
Yours truly, Charles E. Rice

Rev. and 1812 War Section.

Sir:
I have to advise you that from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 361 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued March 26, 1796 to Peter Sevier, assignee, on account of the services of Captain Charles Colton of the Massachusetts Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of such papers, when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any data in regard to any Aaron Morgan.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
