I can't find where his pension was reinstated, but the person whose research I read and adapted here said he did finally receive a pension in 1835. I have found no proof of this. I'll have to amend my Part IV.<br />This breaks my heart. All that he went through. They even have his name on muster rolls. He gave proof of more than two witnesses. Those people should be ashamed of themselves. That wasn't what George Washington would have wanted for his good soldiers. <br />Susan Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790466760098695931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076656763927470902.post-91237364122613224852017-06-14T06:03:09.373-06:002017-06-14T06:03:09.373-06:00Thank you for all your research.

Although he was granted a pension, it appears to have been challenged and suspended later. The poor old soldier found himself once again trying to prove his service. It seems he had to prove the length of his service. I'm not sure if he regained his pension before he died. ( I found this information on fold3 military website). There is definite proof that he fought in many famous battles. It's amazing that he survived! Maybe you can do a Part 4 someday. Thanks again. JSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
