What war would be referenced for a pension application filed for "The Great War" They were filed about 1833ish. I see no regiments or anything to get an idea what state or anything, except they were filed in LA and they both have for the Great War on them. I didn't see either person listed in LA for the war of 1812. Thanks for any help

The Revolutionary War. The US Congress expanded the Revolutionary War Pensions Act of 1818, in 1832 from just Veterans who were unable to do labor to all those who men who could be credited with RW service and widows.

Many, many thanks!! The revolutionary War did occur to me, but I thought these were filed too long after. This will be a great help, thank you for taking your time!
