Madam:
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 402 for 400 acres of bounty land was issued June 11, 1789, on account of the services of Major Richard Cox of the New Jersey 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 papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1814.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
