Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that three hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant 468 which was issued August 26, 1789, on account of the services of JOHN CHAMP CARTER who was a Captain in Harrison's First Continental Artillery Regiment, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to the soldier, and no data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
The above noted is the only John Carter of Virginia who served as an officer during the Revolution.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner

Aug. 25, 1915.
