Someone did a look up for me on Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Talbot County.... and I'd like to try to put together a bio on these men..... and wouldn't it be nice to even get a photo of their tombstone! If we could get those pensions that would be a great help!! If anyone can help me out with some information, I'd sure appreciate it. TALBOT COUNTY 1.
