DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this book is to bring into one volume the various records pertaining to the Revolutionary War soldiers and widows of soldiers who have ties to Switzerland County, Indiana. Included are Switzerland County inhabitants who have not previously been identified as having served in the Revolutionary War. Recognition is given to the widows who settled in Switzerland County after the death of the widow's soldier husband. There are ninety-eight soldiers who lived in Switzerland County, four other soldiers who had ties to Switzerland County, and eight men listed in earlier compilations that either did not live in the county or did not serve in the Revolutionary War. Records compiled for all of these men and women are included in this volume. Entries are alphabetically arranged by surname of the patriot and include: the full name of the patriot, date and place of birth, name of spouse(s), service state(s), service description, rank, proof of service, pension application number, residences, place of death and burial, and other information, followed by abstracts of original documents, such as the pension application, the final payment voucher, land records, census records and more. In order to trace the county's earliest settlers, the author consulted the land records of the Northwest Territory, State of Ohio, Indiana Territory, and Switzerland County, Indiana, as some of these individuals settled (squatted) in the current Switzerland County area when it was still a part of the Northwest Territory. Several dozen sources were examined to determine the service of these Revolutionary soldiers. Citation of each source is identified in these pages. The focus of this work is not genealogy; however, any genealogical information found in the source material has been included. Three appendices complete this work: a list of soldiers and state(s) of service, a list of Revolutionary War soldiers who lived in Switzerland County, and "Interesting observations discovered during compilation of this work."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"For a war that was carried out over 200 years ago, a surprisingly large number of records has survived, even though highly destructive fires in 1800 and 1814 consumed many of those kept at a national level. Of the many records now available, a sizable fraction of them are fruitful sources of genealogical information. It is the purpose of this book to lead you to them and to assist you in extracting information on your ancestor(s) from them"--Introduction.
