"Not all vouchers pertain to Revolutionary War pensioners. ¶ "The Entry 722 vouchers for the one South Carolina pension agency in Charleston number approximately 800. That pension office served pensioners living in all the districts of South Carolina. The fact that these accounts were settled in South Carolina does not mean that the pensioners served in South Carolina. Soldiers from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia appear in these payment records. . . . Some offspring seeking to collect their shares of arrears due to their deceased pensioner parent had long removed from South Carolina, and their powers of attorney reveal their out-of-state residences in locales as far flung as Illinois, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Missouri. ¶ "Last and final pension payment vouchers contain a variety of 'extra' data, such as the maiden names of widows, and their full dates and places of marriage (sometimes supplied by attendees)"-- Introd., p. vi.

"Pension legislation was enacted during and after the Revolutionary War to provide for Revolutionary War veterans and their widows. A final pension payment voucher is the record of the payment made after the death of a pensioner, the balance due from the deceased's military or widow's pension. If the widow, heirs, or legal representative did not file for the money that was due the pensioner, from the time he received a last payment until the time of his death, there was no final payment, only the record in the 'last payment voucher' of the last payment to the pensioner himself..."Intro., P.
