The absence of a name from this list does not absolutely indicate there was never a pension application filed. An application could have been filed under a different spelling of the surname or a different given name. The files indicated below can be viewed, printed out or down-loaded through Heritage Quest. The files normally include an affidavit giving details of the veterans service in the Rev. War, the pension certificate if a pension was granted, and sometimes names of family members. Most affidavits show the State and county where the veteran was living when he entered the war. NAME OF VETERAN FILE NO.
