Only Five Names,Pensioners

I started this page thinking it would make for a great page. But the subject I chose wasn’t all I hoped it would be. But what to do with the information I had already found. Well I decided not to let it go to waste. There are only five names on this page but I know some where there is a family lookin for information on them.

There seems to be some confusion on this name. In the petition it states he was a soldier, but on the pension roll it states he was a seaman, do your research before stating this as fact.
