Virgil White's Index to War of 1812 Pensioners "prepared from microfilm records located at the National Archives." "The claims are for the most part based on the acts of 1871 and 1878." It appears, from the Introduction of this Index, that if your ancestor was faithful to the United States during the American Civil War he (or his Spouse) might be eligible for a pension for the war some 60 years before. These entries appear on the Virgil White Index on Page 1557. SEAMAN Benjamin D., Maria A., WC-28134, srv Capt. R. Carman's Co. NY Mil as a Pvt. Ebenezer, Lillis, [sic] WC-1202, srv Capt.
