U.S. House of Representatives
All Three Volumes of  2123 pages in very good condition. Originally printed 1853. Description per the  publisher;
This work contains the largest collection of private claims ever  published, listing about 60,000 claims for compensation from the U.S. Government  for the period 1789-1849. Many of the claims were for Revolutionary War service,  such as invalid claims, and for War of 1812 and other military services,  including compensation and indemnity for supplies and services. Other claims  were for confirmation of title to land in Louisiana, Mississippi Territory, and  Michigan; bounty lands in Illinois and Indiana; and for various services  performed for the U.S. Government, such as transportation of the mail, delivery  of hospital equipment, etc. The entries are arranged alphabetically by the name  of the claimant, with information in tabular form such as nature of the claim,  where presented, and action taken. Our publication is a reprint of the 1853  edition, which was printed as House Miscellaneous Documents, Series 653-655.

Auctiva's FREE Counter British Army  Pensioners Abroad, 1772-1899
Norman K. Crowder
British  Army pensioners lived in the vicinity of every major center in the Canadian  Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, and Ontario. In many cases their children and  grandchildren emigrated to New England, New York, Michigan, and the American  West. It is likely there are several million North Americans descended from  these so-called "Chelsea pensioners." This book, which lists veterans who were  discharged primarily during the period from 1800 to 1857, will help their  descendants to trace their British origins. The most important piece of  information provided is the name of the unit in which a man was serving when he  received his discharge. This is given for all 8,934 entries in the book together  with the date the pension was awarded. Often additional details are supplied,  such as the place of residence and the date and place of death.
