Revolutionaey Pensioners Of Maine & Rhode Island.

A while back a friend sent me some information from a book he found in some library in some dusty corner. He sent me a couple pages and I found them interesting so I posted them here. However after cross referencing these names with other index’s I found I may have used these names once before. Although I may have used these names before their information is interesting and you may have missed something the first time , while others will find these names all new.

Note. The names with one red star, will have additional information. This additional information will be given on request. My address can be found in my profile.
