land warrant cont.

aunt minverva collection
The Foster Family by W.T. Foster cont.

This shows that the land warrant had been laid or deposited by our grand-parent and not transferred,therefore it proves that the land was entered in his name but we have not located the homestead. It was in or near Harrison county but the county lines have now been changed and it is now probably in Bourbon county. William drew his pension, 1819, at Wincheser, Clark county, Kentucky giving his age at 73, his pension being at the rate of $96.00 a year; but in accord with a congressional law he drew it not more than two years because he was not in needy circumstances.
