Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements [Note from Will Graves: Nancy Poquette has very generously given us permission to post her manuscript containing transcriptions she has made of numerous veterans who lived and/or served in Guilford County North Carolina at some time during the Revolutionary War. Given the “search” capabilities of this site, I have decided to post Nancy's entire manuscript rather than extract from it the individual pension applications transcribed in it. This is an experiment to determine whether or not the ability to search this site will be compromised in any way by grouping the transcriptions. Obviously, one compromise is that each soldier's name will not appear in the Index of applications, but this shortcoming should be overcome by the search capabilities of the site. We'll see. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on whether or not this approach should be used in the future. Also, please note that some of the applications transcribed by Nancy duplicate transcriptions already appearing on the site, but such duplication is viewed as a positive since different transcribers may well (and do) interpret handwritten documents in different ways. Many thanks to Nancy for her generous sharing of the wonderful fruits of her selfless labor—Huzza, huzza, huzza!] Transcribed and annotated by Nancy Poquette Pension Applications of the Guilford County, NC Soldiers of the Revolutionary War Source Lists of Guilford County Men 6-20 The Table of Contents for Pension Applications-[abridged and annotated] Name -
