The pension records have a wealth of information, especially, if the widow
applied for a pension.

Has  anyone found any information of value in War of 1812  military
records?  All those I have obtained contain little more  than  verification
the man was there, possibly dates and pay  info.  Rev. War  records
and records from the War Between the  States, on the other hand, have
a wealth of information, sometimes  including a physical description
of the applicant.
