A Soper researcher has received a copy of Pardon's War of 1812 Service Record and a copy of his application for Land Grant.
There is not much important in it except that Pardon volunteered for 6 months service in New York 6th Art. Regiment. It says that he was injured after 2 weeks of service and was sent home. According to the service record, Pardon cut the tendons in one leg "off".
There is also a letter from the family dated 1867 that says Pardon and Deborah both have been dead for 7 years (1860).
The letter further says that Pardon and Deborah had 8 children that all beyond the age of 37 and that all of them were living in 1860. But it lists 9. The list adds a daughter named Mary to those listed in the Irish book.
Does anyone have any idea who this Mary would have been.
