Sir, In answer to yours of the 5 th Inst. I have to state that the name of Law urtz appears on the Books in this Office, as per certificate inclosed, in Mr. Beechers letter the name is spelled differently. Viz. Law gourts . he appears to have been a private attached to the Penn a Legion was entitled to 200 ac of Land which has been drawn, but there is no evidence in this Office, which would show the time of his enlistment none however were entitled to lands from this State, but such as were in the Service at the end of the war. The name of David Devose does not appear upon the Books in this Office.
Yours Respectfully &c.
