Hon Sir,
Through tradition we have it that Eliakim Hambleton was granted a military Bounty Land Warrant upon the service of his brother George Hambleton who was a soldier in the war of 1812 and who was killed in battle. If granted the date would be somewhere from 1828 to 1850.
It could be that this warrant could have been granted to Job Hambleton or his widow Eleanor Hambleton. Job being a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
Please inform me what your records show in the matter.
I desire this information to use in connection with some family history work that I am doing.

Sir, I forward you the letter of A. H. Parker Esq. in relation to the claim of Mr. Humblin of Ind. where Agent & also I am.
It appears there is no list of the Dividends in his office.
I have respectfully to inquire whether there is in your office a list of the Men of Lair's Company & West -
As there is no such list will traditional proof be satisfactory to show the Service of Job Humblin His own declaration should be be entitled to some weight -
I need not say to you that it is utterly impossible to show his Service by living witnesses who had a personal knowledge of it - To require such proof would be to sure to reject the claim -
Respectfully W. Morris

De Sir:
Your letters of the 11 th May & 3 rd July are both before me. I have made many searches & have not been able to find the name of Sol Hamblin . He received no Bounty land or pay - There was such a company as Tabb's and such a regiment as Col. Chas. Dabney's - there is a list of the officers in said company & said Regiment, but no list of the privates. I am sorry that I cannot furnish you with the information you desire.
I am De Sir:
Yours most respectfully, J. H. Parker.

Sir.
Mrs. Eleanor Humblin has placed the enclosed papers in my hands and wishes me to prosecute her claim.
Among the papers will be found Humblin's declaration (City) etc Seems to give a very clear account of his business - I have applied to the Auditor of Rev. for the required proof I do not know what weight you may give to the statements of Joh Humblin, the claimant's husband.

Mr. Eliakim Hamblin
Sir.
Your father, it seems, from a close examination of the public records, was not stricken from the Rolls as pensioner, but he was suspended from receiving a pension because that he did not forward a schedule of his property to the War Department, as the law directed. Enclosed you have a printed copy of instructions applicable to his case.
With regard to your Brother's bounty land, you did not give his first, or christian name, nor the name of the Colonel or Captain under whom he served or by whom he was entitled, and after all the search that has been made, we cannot find his name.
Write to me at Charleston, and give me his name, and the name of his Officers to and I will write to the War Office from there.

The land will undoubtedly be the property of your father. Yours respectfully H H
