Roll Call of the First Veterans

Twenty-seven veterans of the American Revolutionary War settled in Perry County in the years after that war.  Some later moved on.  Others stayed.   Eighteen received a pension.  There may have been more.  But these are the ones I found. 

 

Beginning June 17th through July 4th, each day the application of one pensioner will appear in alphabetical order on this page.  Their stories are from the official Pension records of the American Revolutionary War from the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA).  Some are edited for brevity.  A PDF of the original record from the NARA is included at the end of each one for those who wish to view the original.
