Gentlemen,
Have you any records of a Louis or Pierre (his son) He Leve who served in Ft. Sackville at Vincennes during the Revolution?
Was there a Robert Hunter who served? (I'm not sure of his first name but I know my great grandmother Isabelle Hunter and her brother Robert was helped as bullet molders in that fort.) Please send me any record of his and

any record you may have of Major Kemptremick.
Gratefully yours,
Mrs. Ralph E. Jones.

Mrs. Lena H. Doty, 1747 Third Avenue, Detroit, Mich. Madam:-
In response to your letter dated the 12 th instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of John F. Hamtramck as Captain in the New York Troops, on Warrant No. 983 which issued August 4, 1791.
There are no papers on file relative to said claim as they were destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800, therefore there is no further data in regard to him.
The Revolutionary War records fail to afford any information in regard to Joseph Folwell and John Trumbull described by you.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Tiesman
Acting Commissioner.

Madam:
I have to advise you that the Revolutionary War records of this bureau show that three hundred acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of John F. Hamtramck as Captain in the New York Troops, on Warrant 983 which was issued August 4, 1791.
There are no further data on file relative to John F. Hamtramck and no data relative to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The above noted is the only soldier by the name of Hamtramck that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau and there is no record of a soldier named Hemtremick.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner
