REJECTED PENSION APPLICATIONS OF MARION RESIDENTS
Please note that the thousands of men who fought for the colonial government were entitled to receive pensions or bounty land grants for their service but proof of service was required. After the veteran's death, his widow was entitled to apply for a pension as well. The list below is of those Marion County residents who had applied for a pension and were required to submit additional information before a pension was granted. |
|
| NAME | REASON FOR REJECTION |
|---|---|
| AYER, Darius | Alleges six months service in the Maryland militia. He must furnish narrative of service, and give period and grade, and names of company and field officers. |
| BLACKMAN, David | For proof of service. |
| COLEMAN, Prudence, widow of Robert | For further proof of service and marriage. |
| FLOYD, Orson | Alleges two years and three months service in the North Carolina line. Name not on the army records at Raleigh. He must furnish proof by living comrades. |
| ROGERS, Mary Ann, widow of Lott | No claim--not six months' service. |
| ROSSER, John | He did not serve six months. |
| TURNER, John | He did not serve six months. |
