Had a question about the 13 Rev. war veterans named in Manly Wade Wellman's book as listed on the 1840 census drawing pensions for service in the Rev. War. Thought the information might be of interest to others as well. The full list of 13, as cited by Wellman: William Askew (oldest, 103) in 1840) William R. Duke (next oldest, 94 in 1840) Thomas Hilliard Augustin Baltrup Burwell Davis Francis Riggan John Dowton James Durham Frederick K. Shearin Henry Southall Robin Harris David King John Watkins (youngest; age 77 in 1840) "All had done their service in the North Carolina militia except the youngest of them all, seventy-seven year old John Watkins, who had fought the British as a teen-age private of the Continental Line." --Wellman lists his source as the Sixth United States Census (1840) pp. 180-81. -Sandy
