Madam:-
In addition to the pension record of John Gunnell S.F. file 40,062 Rev. War, you are furnished a transcript from the bounty land records of John Gunnell Wt. No. 12,150, and advised that from the lack of data in the latter record, this Bureau is unable to determine whether they are one and the same soldier.
For the date of last payment of pension, and to whom it was paid, application should be made to the Auditor for the Interior Department, U. S. Treasury Department, giving him all of the following data: "John Gunnell. Certificate 13,563, issued August 5, 1819, for $8 per month from August 3, 1818, under the Act of March 18, 1818, at the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Agency!"
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Madam:-
In response to your letter dated the 27" and received the 28" ultimo, relative to John or Jonathan Gunnell, you are advised that the only soldier of either name found on the Revolutionary War bounty land records of this Bureau, is one "John Gunnell who was allowed one hundred acres of land for his service as a Private in the Virginia troops, on a warrant numbered 12,150, issued March 27, 1794!
For the location of said land, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Washington, D. C., giving him all of the foregoing data.
As there are no papers on file in this Bureau, it is probable that they were destroyed when the British burned the War Office in 1814.
