Excerpt from "History of Kentucky" by Judge Lewis Collins, Vol. 1

Revolutionary War Soldiers -- Those living in KY, including those who moved there after the war, as of 1840. As Judge Lewis Collins said, "It is evident from their age, (some) were too young to be in the Revolutionary war, except as drummers or wagon-boys; while a few others were probably in the Indian Wars soon after the Revolution." Some names are of their widows who are receiving pensions. There were also veterans who refused a pension.

It must be kept in mind that the foregoing list of Revolutionary soldiers, and of widows of deceased soldiers, includes only those who were living in Kentucky as late as July, 1840, nearly sixty years after the close of the great struggle. Besides these, several thousand more of those soldiers, with their families, emigrated to Kentucky, and died before 1840; among them, many who became leading men in the State, and some of them in the Nation. The following are a few of the names:
