Pensioners Of The United States-1776. Page 1.

These men were put on the pension rolls in 1796, in the beginning I was going to put all the information I had on these names here however I find I would fell my web site with the information so I will put a star by each name that has more information. However I will give information on some of the names so you will know what kind of information you will receive. If you don't see a family member here I have many other pension lists. If you have any questions on this page or any other pages on my web site you can write to me at. dsegelquist1@cox.net
