Mrs. Charles E. Davisdson
Greenville, Ills.

Madam:
	I ahve to advise you, that the records of this Bureau show, that 

Warrant No. 1504, for three hundred acres of bounty land was issued May 29, 

1792, to Walter Stewart, assignee, on account of the services in the War of 

the Revolution, of Captain Henry Moss of the Virginia Line.

	There is no further data on file as to this soldier and no data as to 

family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office 

was burned in November, 1800.

		Respectfully,

		Wilder S. Metcalf, Commissioner
