The overriding importance of this list of 11,000 Connecticut Revolutionary pensioners–apart from supplying us with the names of the pensioners–is that it often gives the names of p ensioners’ widows and the pensioners’ places of residence at the time of the various Pension Acts. In addition, it sometimes provides the age of the pensioner (or his widow) and a brief description of his military service. Occasionally there is a reference to his date and place of death or a notation indicating that he was pensioned from another state. In all cases the source of the pension record is identified: survivor’s file, widow’s file, rejected file, or bounty land warrant.
