I decided to post a final list of these pensions showing which files I have copied and which have been sent to someone. I may go back and finish copying the rest of the pensions but not for a few weeks! I have stacks of paper everywhere right now. One other note: you can bring a laptop and approved scanner into the research room at the Archives. Also I think I exaggerated the average length of a file--I would say it is more like 20 pages, although there are some huge files out there. Laurel Baty L252 War of 1812 Pension Card Abstracts [M313, Index to War of 1812 Pension Application Files, 102 rolls.] These cards are on microfilm, I have abstracted the soldiers name, date of enlistment, unit, widow's maiden name, date of marriage if given and residence information of soldier and widow. There are also a series of numbers on the cardsSO (soldiers original, used when the soldier was an invalid), SC (soldier's certificate), WO (widow's original), WC (widow's certificate) and Bounty Land that I can provide to anyone who is interested in a particular person. The actual pension files have not been microfilmed and must be requested from the National Archivesif you are visiting the Archives you can obtain a researcher card and request a maximum of 4 files per document pull (these are at set times throughout the day) or 24 files per day (a mistake in this case, because I couldn't copy 24 files by myself, I think I managed to copy 15)! You then view the files in a special room (second floor) into which you may bring only a pencil and paper. You may Xerox the files with approval of an Archivista large document scanner is also available. You can also sign up to use a bulk copier for one hour which I recommend as the files are quite large, the average length probably about 40 pages (it can be hard to copy a long file on the copiers in the research room on a crowded day and you are supposed to limit your time to 3 minutes when others are waiting). I am going to put an * in front of names that did not appear on the first list I sent out. These are all of the alternate spellings that I could find. *Batey, Thomas (or Beatie), Capt.
