Revolutionary War Soldiers who lived near Rockcastle in 1840

Excerpt from "History of Kentucky" by Judge Lewis Collins, Vol. 1

As Judge Lewis Collins said, "It is evident from their age, (some) were too young to be in the Revolutionary war, except as drummers or wagon-boys; while a few others were probably in the Indian Wars soon after the Revolution." Some names are of their widows who are receiving pensions. There were also veterans who refused a pension.
