Elijah Dover IA-13792R filed in 1847 in SC Just found out that the IA in the note from Una means INVALID APPLICATION not Iowa. Anyone have access to the Revolutionary or 1812 pension applications? Could be a ton of info. The "R" reference means rejected .... same fate as Francis & Joshua. Oops, this is the War of 1812: Elijah Dover Old War Invalid File #13792, rejected. Served 1st Rifle Regt.
