Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Isaiah Hayden and John Hayden, who served from Virginia.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from claims for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States based upon service.
A search of those records has been made and no claim for pension or bounty land found based upon service of any Isaiah Hayden, under any spelling of that surname. The record of a John Haydon who served from Virginia has been found; his record is furnished you herewith.
Very truly yours,
A. D. MILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

Dear Madam:
I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 37993, it appears that John Haydon enlisted February 17, 1778 and served in Captain Samuel Colston's Company, Colonel Burgess Ball's Fifth Virginia Regiment, and was discharged February 17, 1779 at Middlebrook, New Jersey.
He was allowed pension on his application executed February 8, 1819, while a resident of Northumberland County, Virginia, and was aged sixty-two years.
There are no data as to family.
Due to the very large number of inquiries similar to yours and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, it is the practice of the bureau to furnish only two histories to each inquirer.
Very truly yours,
EARL D. CHURCH Commissioner.
