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. Danver's 29th Regiment Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 13:39:20 -0500 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?
