If you have a library card you can research the actual Revolutionary War Era Pension & Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files by using your public library's online databases, by clicking on Heritage Quest, put in your library card number and then click on the online Revolutionary War records button. These records are all easily searchable and indexed and contain actual images. I highly recommend this web site.

Also, for FREE if you visit your public library you can use the Ancestry Library Edition. It provides access to a wide range of resources for genealogical and historical research. It includes records from the U.S. Census; military records; court, land and probate records; vital and church records; directories; petitions for naturalization; passenger lists and more. Ancestry Library Edition is available only in Library branches due to licensing restrictions.
