Mrs. P.E.Stuart Nashua, Iowa.
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Dr. Samuel Cook of New York State who died June 12, 1783.
The records of this office show that Warrant No.390 for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 8, 1790, on account of service of Samuel Cook, Surgeon in the New York line, War of the Revolution. Said warrant was issued to John Bailey, Executor, and Temperance Cook, Executrix. No relationship of those persons to the Surgeon is shown.
There are no statements on file which were made by the applicants for this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in such early claims for bounty land when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore, this office has no further information in regard to Dr. Samuel Cook.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
