Pensioners from Ft. Harrodsburg
My ancestor, Reuben Kemp, was living at Harrodsburg, Ky. in January of 1780 when he enlisted under George Rogers Clark.Are there any other known pensioners from Harrodsburg around the year 1780 or thereabouts?These men were militia if I understand my history and weren't eligible for a pension until Congress passed a law in 1832 granting the same. My Reuben was 78 years old then and only drew the pension another 2 years before his death in 1834.I'd welcome any information.Thanks.
