Description
Roane County was not involved in the Revolutionary War as such, but many of the volunteers in the conflict came into this area as settlers. When the United States Congress passed legislation to allow for payment of pensions for service in this conflict, persons involved then sent in their applications. In this volume, there are 24 Revolutionary War applications as well as one application for each of the following conflicts: Indian War, War of 1812 and Mexican War. In each application, the volunteer has to prove his service with records. Most of them had to declare the need for support due to a lack of funds, age, illness, etc. - Mountain Press
