I am hoping someone here with some expertise with these pensions can help. I am assisting someone with research and was able to locate the person of interest. However, all I was able to locate was a jacket with the following notation: "B.L.M. 12.450.Lt-Co Issued Mar. 8. 1782. No papers." All I think I can make out of this is that he was a Lt. Col (which we know he was) who received his pension 08 March 1792 and that 12.450 is his pension number. Does anyone know what the BLM means? There are no papers in the jacket. Could BLM mean Bureau of Land Management? I am at a loss to know where to go to try to find the documents since they are apparently not in the file - at least according to this microfilm scan at Fold3. Any help most appreciated! Janeth Murphy
