George H. Heimer, 630 Sheridan Boulevard, College View, Nebraska.
Sir:
I advise you that from the Revolutionary War records of this bureau it appears that Daniel Heimer served six years and two months as private in the Pennsylvania Troops, no officers named, and regiment not designated, and was discharged June 6, 1783.
He died in 1784, place not stated and his age is not given.
He was survived by his widow and one son, Adam Heimer. One Catharine Heimer was the administratrix, but it is not shown whether she was soldier's widow.
Daniel H. Heimer and Maria Heimer, only grandchildren and only heirs-at-law, applied, January 1, 1834 in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, for bounty land due on account of the services in the Revolution of their grandfather, Daniel Heimer.
Warrant No. 1999 for one hundred acres of bounty land was issued in their behalf.

One John Heimer stated in 1834 that he was acquainted with the above named grandchildren, but did not state any relationship.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH, Commissioner.
