JOHN HAMMONDS S. 31094 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Hammond, of Fleming County, Kentucky. You state that he received Warrant No. 2622, for bounty land, from the government, and that a warrant with the same number was assigned to one David Flowerree.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service in that war of a David Flowerree, under any spelling. The record has been found of a John Hammonds or Hammond, of Fleming County, Kentucky, which is furnished below as found in pension claim, S. 31094, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. The land to which you referred was granted by the state from which the soldier served.
John Hammonds was born August 26, 1755; the place of his birth and names of parents are not shown.
While residing in Fauquier County, Virginia, John Hammonds enlisted August 26, 1777, for a term of three years, served as private in Captain Elias Edmunds' company, Colonels Thomas Marshall's and Porterfield's Virginia regiment, marched to York where he was stationed two years six months, then marched to Charleston, South Carolina, and from there, to Hillsborough, North Carolina, to take charge of stores deposited there, was in no battle during his service and was discharged after having served the term for which he enlisted.
John Hammonds was allowed pension on his application executed August 9, 1832, while a resident of Fleming County, Kentucky. He signed John Hammonds.
Issued Feb. 24, 1784 100 acres by Act of Va. [Information from Gen. Land Off. by letter phone MTW]

In 1832 the soldier, John Hammonds, stated that he received a warrant from the State of Virginia, for bounty land due him on account of his service in the Revolutionary War, and that he sold said warrant to an individual, whose name, or other details in regard to the transaction were not given.
There are no family data shown in the claim.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name of person paid and possibly the date of death of John Hammonds, you should apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

Gentlemen:
various things more ref.
John Hammond , my Revolutionary ancestor, received bounty land from the government, No. 2622. Another record shows that a warrent of the same number was assigned to David Flowerree .
I understand that John Hammond sold his bounty land. Could this account for two men having the same warrent number?
If it is possible for you to give me the location in Fleming County, Kentucky., of this land, I will appreciate it very much.
Warrent
Sincerely,
Alice Howard Campbell
