Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Case Files of Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Based on Revolutionary War Service in the Records of the Department of Veterans Affairs (Record Group 15) that includes Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File W. 862, for Frederick Maps, New Jersey. These records have been microfilmed and the microfilm has been digitized and can be viewed online. Images 32 through 34 are copies of Sergeant Frederick Maps’s discharge documents. Should you desire a higher quality reproduction, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov. They will examine the original document and determine if its condition allows for making additional copies.We also located the Compiled Service Records of Soldiers Who Served in the American Army During the Revolutionary War in the War Department Collection of Revolutionary War Records (Record Group 93), which includes five records for Frederick Maps, some or all of which may be a match for your ancestor. These files can be viewed online through the Catalog.
We hope this information is helpful.

I would very much like to order copies of items 32-34. Although they are not the quality of our previous discharge copy They would suffice for my needs. Please let me know what I must do to get them on order. I appreciate your work in searching out the documents you sent me. Thank You

As stated in our previous response, we located Case Files of Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications Based on Revolutionary War Service in the Records of the Department of Veterans Affairs (Record Group 15) that includes Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Application File W. 862, for Frederick Maps, New Jersey. These records have been microfilmed, the microfilm has been digitized, and can be viewed online. Images 32 through 34 are copies of Sergeant Frederick Maps’s discharge documents. Click on the link to Application File W.862 and look for Images 32, 33 & 34. Download the images or print them for your use. You do NOT need to order a copy of them UNLESS you want a higher quality reproduction.
If you need a higher quality scan, then you need to contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.
We hope this information is helpful.
