    1. [A-REV] Bounty Land Warrants
    2. Fishell
    3. I need help interpreting my ancestor's bounty land warrant information from the book, "Pension Records of the Revolutionary Soldiers from Connecticut". I'll transcribe the information and then ask my question: "BISHOP, Nathaniel, BLWt, 231-200, Lieut. issued Dec. 31, 1795; also recorded as above under BLWt. 269-2659. No papers." I understand the first number: 231 is the warrant number and 200 was the number of acres. I also know that the papers are missing because of the 1800 fire. The part that I don't understand is the 269-2659 number. The 2659 can't be the number of acres. Is there a place to look up warrants by number? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Julianne Fishell
