A List of Pensioners of the War of 1812 #249709

This record has particular value as it includes abstracts of the evidence presented by the claimant. There was no Ver mont law requiring vital records tb be kept by town clerks prior to 1840, hence attempts to learn the families of Vermont soldiers in either the Revolution or the War of 1812 frequently are futile. All who have had occasion to seek genealogical details in Vermont will realize the importance Of this pension evidence.
