    2. Subject: [HH] rev war warrants Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" can some one tell me what this means i found it on line warrant id 4167.0 veteran name Harris David acres 100 soldier unit Virginia continental line branch unknown date 6/5/1786 Response: Try this link for an explanation of bounty land warrants for the Revolutionary War. http://www.genealogy.com/24_land_print.html If you go to the top right of the screen, there will be a link to allow you to print it. Keep this for future genealogical reference. The veteran of the Revolution did not always claim his bounty land. But that did not keep people from migrating. Many a Revolutionary War veteran is buried in a State which was NOT one of the original 13 colonies. E.W.Wallace
