Is Your Ancestor In My Ancestor's Pension File?

While analyzing the Luttrell pension file, I couldn't help but wonder if Hugh had provided an affidavit for somebody else. This in turn got me thinking that maybe somebody would love to know about their ancestor's affidavit in the Luttrell pension file.

During my series on "Rachel Luttrell and Her Widow's Pension Woes," I mentioned just a few people but there are many more. Some of these people provide excellent statements about their own lives, regarding where they were living during a certain time, occupations, and their social lives. So I've decided to list the people who provided affidavits for Rachel Luttrell.

The list will first state the person's name, age, place, and date affidavit was given. Some gave more than one affidavit, which will be in parentheses.
