Madam:
I advise you that from the records of this bureau it appears that Warrant No. 1020 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued January 14, 1795 on account of the services of Andrew Henderson, Lieutenant in the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data relative to his service and none whatever relative to family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Respectfully,
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner.
