If you join www.Godfrey.org - I believe the gold membership allows access to vital records. In the vital records section under Rev. War is the names of everyone who received pensions from the war. What is very interesting is in order to get their pension they have to tell who their parents were, were they were born, what regiment they serviced under, what battles they fought and who receives benefits if they died. You will learn if they were capable of writing or it had to be done for them, how they signed their names if they were capable or just signed an X. You will see into the lives of some of your ancestors. Some have 2 pages some have 20. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Johnson" <tonyempireore@msn.com> To: "Johnson-L" <Johnson-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 3:43 PM Subject: [JOHNSON] Rev War Apps >I am going to start a Series of Posting on abstracts of Revolutionary War >application covering Johnson- Jonson and Johnston that I have found to have >ties in Virginia and North Carolina, the files were sent to me by another >researcher from a scanned book "1857 Rev.
