    1. [A-REV] Finding a Soldier's Pension File
    2. Stephen von Hitritz
    3. Hi everyone: I am in desperate need of help. I am looking for my Rev. War ancestor's pension file. I have found the following notation in the book, "Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Illinois": MILLER, MICHAEL Died after 1840 Buried Monroe Co., Illinois Residences: He came to Illinois in 1800 from Pennsylvania, settling south of the Moore tract in Monroe Co., Illinois. Service: Private, Virginia Continental troops Pension: S33103 (VA) Illinois pension roll, Monroe Co., Illinois, July 18, 1833. Age 73; Pension index Monroe Co., June 1, 1840, age 86, residing with Jesse Wiswall (son-in-law), head of family. Sources: DAR, PENSION, W This is absolutely my guy. I have written to NARA asking for his pension file....twice!. They tell me there is no file. I have checked DAR records. still no go. I see the reference number but I don't know which system it applies to. It could be Illinois, Pennsylvania or Virginia. Any thoughts? Steve in Richmond, VA
