Source:  Revolutionary Men Buried in IL

When Sue A. found this the end of April, 2008, we decided to do the Rev. War pensions.  To make it easier for us, we used the names and enlistment data from the file she found.

As the list of the men is displayed here, we are searching for the pension records now.  As soon as we can find and transcribe each, the list of men are displayed here.

The information here is as written.

Smiles!
