Hello, I have to copies of the same application. One was sent to my by this list which listed Gideon's name as Gideon Richard French. I have the original copy of the War of 1812: Declaration of a Widow for Pension, It does not list any middle name for Gideon French. So who ever had email that to the list was wrong. I cannot find any information that listed Gideon's middle name as Richard. Thank You Mary
