A good friend of myself and my husband, Ben is Mrs. Niles who is 80 told me she was a decendant of Daniel Boone. Mrs. Niles got into the DAR thru that line. Well, we put together a little family tree for her and I did not think a lot about it. She did not know who her great grandfather was other than he was a McAdams. I found him where he enlisted in the Civil War at the same time as my Jefferson Davis at Glaskow, Kentucky. Her great grandfather was killed but no one ever heard anymore about it. I was doing some research on my grandmother Mollie Anderson's people, the Ivesters. Turns out that Hugh Ivester lived two tracts from Daniel Boone's parents on the Yadkin River. This makes her people and my people knowing each other every four generations!

Where Pension number begins with an 'S' this means the soldier applied for the pension. Where Pension begins with a 'W' this means the widow of the soldier applied for the pension.
BLW was given as a block of land, usually 160 acres. Don't know what the last two numbers are after the amount of land given.
BLW then the pension number, then the amount of land, then unknown number.
