Felix Blankenbaker son of Samuel Blankenbaker and Amy Anna Yeager was in the War of 1812. His second wife Mary, received a pension. I don't have the actual copy but have a copy from the National Archives and Records Service showing they found the record. On my list of things to send for. Lela Blankenbaker/Harris had a copy (now dec.) she was a very early Blankenbaker researcher and my cousin. Donna F.
