I find many references to the Act of Congress, passed June 7, 1832, which prompted the flurry of Rev. War pension applications now on file. Does anyone know where... on the web... the actual text of the Act of Congress can be found?

The request for finding Rev. War pension applications was fun because I had to look in places I'd never gone before to come up with something that I had no idea where it existed!!! The information I couldn't find within "Article III" (which is the) "Judicial Department" within the 'United States Constitution'; I have been left with the impression this Act of 1832 won't be found there, but its ORIGINS are within the pages of the early resolutions of the Continental Congress. I could find no mention within "Article III" of the Constitution and couldn't find any mention of the Judiciary Act of 1832(4 Stat. 529). However, THEN, I FOUND THIS!! http://www.ketoctin.8m.com/Pensions.html This website seems to have it ALL and at the bottom of the website this is what it says: The above information was taken verbatum from the American Revolution message board for genealogy.com. It was written and posted as message #3250 by Ed, a historian on the American Revolution. My question is, is this the list's very own Ed St.Germain (aliasly referred to as the) [Patriot1@americanrevolution.org]???????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's another wonderful discovery made, which I would guess no one on the list was aware of existed! Hope I'm correct on this which would make it even better. If some did know, I'd wonder why they hadn't shared by now!! http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pensions/ The US GenWeb Archives is embarking on the US GenWeb Archives Pension Project. This project will endeavor to provide actual transcriptions of Pension related materials for all Wars prior to 1900. Transcripts, extracts and abstracts will be accepted and files will be placed in the USGenWeb Archives directory of the State and County of principal residence of the Pensioner. (PENSION APPLICATIONS by Joyce M. Godfrey) A list of Wars are included that are being considered for this project, and is provided for the genealogist, and a US GenWeb Archive Volunteer who will be coordinating the Pension collection effort for each of the Wars.
