Sir:
I have to advise you from the records of this Bureau, it appears that Warrant No. 1083 for 150 acres of bounty land was issued April 2, 1796 to Joseph Fenwick, assignee, on account of the services of Ensign Jordan Harris of the Virginia Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information on file as to his services, nor any data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned in 1814.
The above noted Jordan Harris is the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
In order to make a proper search of said records for soldiers named John Jordan and David Wright, some

of the following data is essential- approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service, and first name of widow, and another search will be made in your behalf.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.
