What I learned James Irwin Revolutionary War Pension Application is that James Small served with him in Cumberland County, PA along with Robert Irwin, his brother. James Small settled in Green County, Ohio from Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteAlso that Robert Irwin lived in Butler County, Ohio in 1832 and died before November 1833.
ReplyDeleteJames was placed on Revolutionary War Pension Roll on December 23, 1833 and his pension commenced from March 4, 1831. So he received back pension payments from March 4, 1831 to when he started receiving regular pension payments (which I guess would have been December 23, 1833).
In looking at the RW pension papers, it states that James was granted $20 annually and that he was paid $60 in 1834; which included the back pension payments from March 4, 1831.
