Veterans Administration, Washington, D. C.
Gentlemen:
I am trying to find out something concerning one Thomas H. Holt. I thought perhaps you might have a pension record for him.
The Holt family came from England about the year 1660. There were three brothers, one settled in New England, one in Virginia and the other I know nothing about. Thomas H. evidently was the off-spring of the one who settled in Virginia. I suppose that Thomas was in the Revolution. His son, John F. Holt, who was my great-great-grand-father, was born in York County, Va. May 15, 1769.
Do you have in your files, any record for this Thomas H. Holt? I would appreciate it very much if you could send me this information. Thank you so much.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Rudolph S. Stoyer Mrs. Rudolph S. Stoyer

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Thomas H. Holt, probably an offspring of the branch of the Holt family, one of whom settled in Virginia; you state that John F. Holt, a son of this Thomas Holt, was born May 15, 1769 in York County, Virginia.
A search of the Revolutionary War records has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of a Thomas H. Holt. The records have been found of two named Thomas Holt, who served from Virginia; their records are furnished you herewith, and may aid you in your research.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

BA-J/ILL Thomas Holt B.L. Wt. #1069-300 acres
Dear Madam:
The records of this office show that Thomas Holt served as captain in the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
On account of the service of Thomas Holt, given above, warrant #1069 for 300 acres of bounty land was issued February 22, 1799 to Joseph Watkins and William R. Bernard, assignees.
There are no statements on file made by the applicant for this bounty land because of the destruction of papers in such early applications for bounty land when the War Office was burned in 1800, hence, no further data in regard to this officer.
If you desire information in regard to the location of this bounty land, you should address the Commissioner, General Land Office, this city, and furnish that official the number of this warrant, acreage, and date of issuance.
It is suggested that further information in regard to the military record of this officer, might be obtained from The Adjutant General, War Department, this city.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
