Thanks! > > Steve Steve and others who have inquired, The National Archives and Records Administration, located at 7th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20408, has an order form called "National Archives Order For Copies Of Veterans Records". You should be able write and request order forms directly from them. I think they may be available over the Internet, I haven't checked for awhile. These forms can be used to order records relating to service before World War I only. With these forms you can order Bounty Land application files, Pension application files and Military service record files. Bounty Land warranty application files are based on Federal service before 1856. Documents in a bounty land warrant application file are similar to those in a pension application file. In addition, these files usually give the veteran's age and place of residence at the time the application was made. The forms that I have are called NATF Form 80. Thanks to you and all that commented on the web page, I'm glad it is of help. Tom Darby, Hermitage, PA.
