My ancestor, Daniel Hamilton, volunteered for service with the Berlin Rifle Company which was part of the 1st Battalion, 109 Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia out of Bedford, Somerset, and Cambria Counties, PA. Does anyone know where I can locate a history of that unit's service during the War of 1812? Thanks a bunch Eva in Tallahassee Eva Dayle Zippay Tallahassee, Florida evadayle@yahoo.com

Salt Lake LDS Library has films of these Pension and Bounty Application files. Allllll pension papers (sometimes up into the 'teens) are there for you to see. You can rent these films by going to your nearest LDS Family History Library and for a fee of $6 per film they will send to Salt Lake for this film (and others if you wish). This is worth the money as the military pension/bounty land files have great and detailed information. Besides the huge regional libraries, most every city/town has at least one LDS Stake (church) that also has a FH room dedicated to family research. These rooms not only have an experienced volunteer to help, but they offer computers that access Ancestry.com and more, film readers, microfiche and film or paper copiers. Makes researching pure pleasure. I believe on the Familysearch.com website these facilities are listed. I am not Mormon but go each week for a few hours to the local room to research -- often with a few other locals also persuing their passion for family history. The local Yellow Pages may also list these rooms. Good hunting.

I am looking for a pension file for William Scott. William was, I believe, born about 1756 in Hampshire, Massachusetts. He and his wife, Esther, were living in Londonderry, Windham, Vermont as late as 1810. William may have died Jan or Feb 1814 in Greenbush, Rensselaer Co., New York. (I'm not certain about this date and place of death). I have received the order forms from the National Archives for copies of Federal Pension or Bounty Land Warrant Applications but I don't think I have enough information to fill out these forms adequately. I know William's widow, Esther, applied for William's pension in June of 1854. In July 1854 some of William's children are named as heirs in a land warrant. The above information was given to me in an email by an individual I have been unable to reconnect with. So...I'm quite sure the pension file exists, it's just that I am unable to properly fill out the NARA order form. Any ideas or suggestions? Genae

Hi, The soldiers who enlisted early in the war got 160 acres, I think it was late 1814 the government up the amount to 320 to entice men to enlist. It had nothing to do with rank. I don't think officers qualified for any and petitioned Congress after the war.

I am looking for Edward Jones, born between 1780-1790 in VA. Not sure where in VA exactly. Rumor has it he was in the Militia with Capt. Piper's Regiment., War of 1812. He died in Delaware Cty, OH about 1856. Apparently he was an overseer on VA plantations after the war. He was granted a land warrant but never made use of it. ANY information on his service, really anything would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mark Thanks for info on Bounty Land link. I guess I am confusing ARW veterans as to rank. My Elisha Adams received his 160 acres, 10 Feb 1818 while living in Ky. His Warrant #14807 was Henderson County Ill. spelling out exactly location by Township numbers. He served 22 May 1813 to 30 April 1815, spending time at Fort St Phillips La. I don't know if St Phillips was considered Battle Of New Orleans or different engagement. His command was Pvt. 7th US INf., Captain J S Waides. gerald preas --- "Mark S.

Presumably there was and presumably it was produced as part of the bounty land warrant application in order for him to receive his 320 acres, but more than likely it was not surrendered by the soldier and remained in his possession. The army would not have kept a copy. -- Paula Wiegand Genealogy Quest www.Genealogy-Quest.com

Thank you to all who replied. If anyone comes across the history of the 29th Regiment, please keep me in mind! Judy Amarillo, Texas texasyankee@cableone.net

Higher the rank, more land received. I think Private rank was 160 acres. glp --- Judy Lock <texasyankee@cableone.net> wrote: > Thanks, Paula!

Adele. I have found the land patent in the Territory of Illinois and also have the Pension file. I really want to read the history of this 29th Regiment. James F. Gardner sold some of the land on the day he claimed it to a J. L. (John Lewis) Bogardus, then the rest about 5 months before he died in 1818.

Can someone tell where to find information on Capt. Danver's 29th Regiment, New York Militia. I found a link at one point, but cannot find it again! I would like to read the history of the Regiment. I'm also searching in Madison County, New York, where my husband's ancestor, James F. GARDNER, was drafted in 1814. According to his pension file, he was also discharged at Madison County. He received a land patent for 320 acres, which someone said was twice the normal amount of land given to soldiers - does anyone know why he would receive this amount? Judy texasyankee@cableone.net

Judy, are you looking in New York records for the bounty land of James F. GARDNER? Many of the bounty lands were granted by a federal Act in land set aside for that purpose in the state of Illinois--in counties along the west central edge. You can check for individuals in various states in the Bureau of Land Management site at: http://www.glorecords.gov I happen to know of one individual from Madison County, New York, who was in Illinois circa 1840. If you haven't checked census records for your GARDNER, you could try Illinois. I know of two others from other places in New York who were in Illinois by 1820. If you find someone in the Illinois BLM records and the code is MT, that stands for Military Tract and that person was the first owner. Some land speculators bought up bounty land grants from people, and the people who received the grants never occupied their bounty land grant.

I believe the amount of land granted was tied to rank..... ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Judy Lock" <texasyankee@cableone.net> Reply-To: warof1812@rootsweb.com To: "Warof1812" <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: [WAROF1812] New York Militia, Capt.

Hi to everyone I am looking for information on the following two family members and I hope that someone knows about them or can direct me in the right direction. It appears that Capt John B Pit(t)man is one of these "mounted volunteer riflemen" also shown is a sergeant William S/L Pit(t)man. It seems they are related. They could be the Pittman brothers that should be living in the Clark County area around the 1800 time period. I have had a look at some groups of these type soldiers in the Illinois records but could not find them. I thank you for your time and attention, Ora
