"The War of 1812 series of Pension Applications are for claims based on service between 1812 and 1815. The claims are for the most part based on the acts of 1871 and 1878. The act of 1871 provided pensions for veterans who had been cited by Congress for specific service if they had remained faithful to the United States during the Civil War. The act of 1878 provided pensions on more liberal terms, the veteran who had served as few as fourteen days in any engagement, and to widows of such veterans. Interfiled within the index are applications based on death and disability that previously formed a part of the 'Old Wars' pension series. Also consolidated within the index are a large percentage of the Bounty Land Warrants awarded for service and for which no pension application was made. There is a cross-reference index to the wives, widows and other family members as shown in the main index. The maiden name of the wives and widows are shown in the cross reference index when they were available from the main index, otherwise the wives and widows are listed under the surname of the soldier. The cross-reference index contains 58,126 entries..."--Introd.
