Excerpt
from "History of Kentucky", by Judge Lewis Collins, Vol. 1 Revolutionary
War Soldiers
Those
living in Kentucky, including those who moved there after the war, as of
1840. As Judge Lewis Collins said "It is evident
from
their age some were too young to be in the Revolutionary war, except drummers
or wagon boys: while a few others were
probably
in the Indian Wars soon after the Revolution". Some names are of widows who
are receiving pensions. There were also
veterans
who refused a pension.
