"Revolutionary War Pensions" sets out, where available, the date and company of service, the applicant's age, dependents and a list of property often right down to forks and spoons with their value at the time. "Lunacy Inquests" sets out the reason given by the jury for finding the person in question to be a lunatic or an idiot and follows that individual through the court system.
