Heir's Pension Affadavit For Pension Reinstatement
Revolutionary War Veteran, ? Flanders Thompson [Sr] was resident in Laurens 
County, South Carolina, from 1780 through 1830; his Revolutionary War Pension 
was awarded for his service in the Continental Line [[ "THOMPSON, Flanders:  
Va. Battalion, 1 and 10 CL; 10 CL; 14 CL" [2] ]] from the State of Virginia, 
where he mustered in for service at Halifax, in 1776, and was subsequently 
awarded to him while residing in the State of South Carolina.  

This hearing reflects the petition and affadavit by one of his children in 
regard to reinstating his pension for the heirs, after the date of their 
mother, and Flanders Thompson, Sr.'s widow, Elizabeth Green THOMPSON...
