I have a new index that deals with pension applications of the men of the revolutionary war who are from the south. However this is a little miss leading, true these men are from the south, however many fought for other states that were not southern. All these men are now living in a southern state and are putting in for a pension from that state.
I will list a few names, as there are to many to put here. I will give just enough information so you may know you have the right person. I have all the pension application for all the men listed here.
Note. Those of you who didn’t find a name of interest here can ask for a look up, as I have over 7, thousand pension application of the men of the south. If you ask for a look up the man must be from the south. Please remember to give ( the title of this page ) when asking information on a name or ( I may not be able to help you. ) My address can be found in my profile.

This is not just about the Revolutionary Pensioners of the Sourh. This could also be some very good history. Good job.
Pensioners who lived in the South are listed geographically by residence in the 1835 publication submitted to Congress by the War Dept.'s pension office - the multivolume set is available in major libraries. Genealogical Publishing Co.'s reprint with a new index has also been searchably imaged by ancestry.com and can be viewed at any library that subscribes to ancestry.com. The information given includes date pension was first allowed, age at the time of application, date of removal from the rolls (and restoration if any), annual amount of pension, State served from and rank. This information helps to sort out persons by the same name. It does not include all those with disability pensions or those entitled only to Virginia State pensions (these pensioners can be found in the searchable Library of Virginia web site under Revolutionary War category).
