American Army During the Revolutionary War Date: 1775-1785
Includes Pension files

Many times when researching we run across same names, different people. Sometimes these people are related and at times we can not find any relationship at all. When looking through my records you will find, at times, people with the same name, but not the same person. For this reason always remember to do your own research. I include all of the documents and files I have collected, in my own research, so others might be able to find who they are looking for. I love to hear from other genealogists, so if you see links in families that I do not or just want to talk history, email me. Put "Family Research" in the subject line so I know it is from someone I want to correspond with.
