Some Tennessee Heroes of the Revolution [Paperback]

Armstrong (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2009 | ISBN-10: 080630684X | ISBN-13: 978-0806306841

Based on the Invalid Lists of 1806 and the Pension Lists of 1818, 1832 and 1840, this book supplies--in addition to name, age, service, residence, and source of information--the date of the pension application; date and place of birth; service record; names of all family members cited in the pension statement; and place or places of migration to, from, or within Tennessee. The 1840 Pension List is especially interesting to researchers as it includes widows' applications. Widows were required to submit proof of marriage and children, and their applications, therefore, constitute a rich vein of genealogical source material.
This volume is available on our Family Archive CD 7511.

This review is from: Some Tennessee Heroes of the Revolution (Paperback)

This book has quite a bit of information on Tennessee Revolutionary War veterans and their descendants. The information is sworn statements from widows and other living veterans. It would be invaluable to genealogists researching North Carolina, and Tennessee families. All veterans are listed in alphabetical order.
