Contains more than 28,000 files, many of which include the names of
the wife. Most pension applications and their supporting papers
contain information of much interest to soldiers' descendants, to
genealogists, and to other researchers. They are more informative
than official service records because they give more detailed
information about a soldier's military, personal, and family
history. The application lists the veteran's place of enlistment,
unit, period of service, battles participated in, and whether he
was wounded or captured. Made out in questionnaire form, it also
asked such information as place of birth, number of children, and
value of personal and real property owned by the veteran. Pensions
for soldiers' widows were first issued in 1905. Their applications
show place of birth for both widow and husband, and in many
instances the names and ages of children. As proof of marriage was
required for admission to the pension rolls, a copy of the marriage
certificate is often found in widow applications. Supporting papers
consist of correspondence between the applicant and the Pension
Board, letters or sworn affidavits from old comrades and neighbors
attesting to the veteran's character and the nature of his military
service, and abstracts of the soldier's service record furnished by
the Federal War Department. This volume contains essential
information from over 28,000 files, including applications of
soldiers, widows, and "colored" soldiers. Copies of the original
complete pension files are available at the Tennessee State Library
in Nashville. This updated and revised edition contains 300 entries
that were not in original 1964 book.

The War of 1812 was a defining period in the history of Tennessee.
At the commencement of the War, most military action was focused on
the border with Canada, but the large distance between the fighting
and Tennessee forces rendered Tennessee's participation
impractical, if not impossible. However, when President James
Madison requested Tennessee's assistance to defend the "Lower
Country," record numbers of Tennesseans volunteered, earning the
unique and deserving nickname, "The Volunteer State."This work is
divided into two sections...an alphabetical listing of Tennesseans
who were Officers in the War of 1812, and an alphabetical listing
of the Enlisted Men in the War of 1812. Included for each entry are
the name, rank, regimental commander, company commander, branch of
service, and, where shown, place of residence of the soldier. In
addition, the authors also included other information of interest,
such as date wounded or died...if while in service...whether
deserted or absent with leave, or if discharged for inability to
serve. There are approximately 33,000 individual soldiers
documented, plus the regimental and company commanders' names for
each soldier.
