Dear Sir,
I wish information as to one John Green son of Lieut. Henry who was born in Killingly Ct. 1736 & had wife Abilene. I find John Green was appointed by Ct. Assembly in June 1776, Capt. 7th Co. 3d Battalion Ct. under col. Comfort Sage, also a John Green received a land warrant in Virginia for Revolutionary service, issued prior to Dec 31 1784. Having been unsuccessful in a search for date or place of death of either John or his wife Abilene (though possibly he had 2d wife) I have turned to your Department for aid.
If consistent with public service will you kindly send me any items of record relating to military service, widows pension etc of the above named John Green?
Very truly L. F. Beckford

Sir
The claim, referred by you to this office for bounty land of the United States, by the heirs of John Green of the Virginia line, has been examined by me, and I have to inform you that Warrant N o . 1435 issued on the 6 th of Dec r . 1828 to John Green son and the other heirs at law of John Green a private of Lee's Legion. He is the only John Green returned of that line. It will be seen by Wm Youngmans letter that J. Green joined a troop of horse of Lee's Legion. If he left a son as was proved to us, his sister and her descendants can have no claim - You know we have nothing to do with any claim upon the State of Virginia. The papers are returned to you. If Mr. Murray thinks any fraud has been practised, he can investigate the subject at Liberty in the county of Bedford in Virginia, whence the claim came to us.
Yrs Robert Taylor
