My dear Mr. Martin:
Reference is made to your letter of February 18, in behalf of your constituent, Mrs. John T. Sharkey, of Taunton, Massachusetts, whose papers you enclosed.
It is noted that Mrs. Sharkey is interested in the Revolutionary War record of John Dennett, and that the papers submitted by her are copies of citations pertaining to him from printed volumes containing the names of Revolutionary War soldiers, such as Heitman's Historical Register, the New Hampshire Revolutionary Rolls, and other sources, and desires that the Commissioner of Pensions attach his signature to said papers.
You are advised that the Commissioner can attach his signature officially only to such papers as pertain to the records in his custody.
It might interest Mrs. Sharkey to know that it appears from the Revolutionary War records of this bureau that Warrant No. 510, for 300 acres of bounty land, was issued September 9, 1789, on account of the services of John Dennett, Captain of the New Hampshire Line, War of the Revolution.
Should she desire to know the location of the land, it is suggested that she apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city, citing the number of the warrant, acreage and the date of issuance.
The papers noted above submitted by Mrs. Sharkey are returned herewith.
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner

Madam:
I advise you from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No, 510 for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 9, 1789, on account of the services of John Dennett, Captain of the New Hampshire Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in November, 1814.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
