New York Revolutionary War Pension Lists of 1792-1795
Two fires in 1800, one in the War Department, the other in the Treasury
Department, destroyed the earliest Revolutionary War pension application
records. Nevertheless, certain pension records pre-dating 1800 survive in
the form of Congressional reports. Represented here are the pension claims
of New York Revolutionary War soldiers extracted from Congressional reports
between 1792 and 1795.
