Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that we have examined the records of the South Carolina line, and those of the Virginia line, to which latter line was attached the Regiment of Dragoons in which Job Hammond served, but his name does not appear among those men who were entitled to commutation pay, of bounty lands from the United States. His pension was paid to the 4 th March 1835; arrears are due the heirs from this date to the time of his death.

Sir,
In reply to the last paragraph of your letter of the 3 rd inst. relative to Job Hammond, dec d . I have to inform you that his name is not returned among those of the South Carolina line who were entitled to bounty land from the U States; and he could not therefore, have enlisted for during the war, and have served till the close thereof, in the year 1783. There is no claim to such bounty.
We are unable to say whether his pension was paid up to the day of his death. The books of the Third Auditor's office shew that payment was made to the 4 th March 1835. If he did subsequently thereto, the widow or children, as the case may be, can obtain the arrears to the date of his death, on the production of the proper such vouchers, as the enclosed printed sheet directs.
