Summary:
This series consists of sworn affidavits by Revolutionary War veterans intending to apply for pensions. Each affidavit includes
statements of the veteran's war service; a schedule of his real and personal property; applicant's age; residence; former
military rank; and physical disability (if any). Such affidavits could be made in any court of record, but were most often
made in the Court of Common Pleas, rather than the Supreme Court.
