Elizabeth A. Haynie
(Widow of George L. Haynie)
Pension Papers
This page includes military service record information and bounty land warrant
information for George Haynie, as well as the pension papers of his widow,
Elizabeth A. Haynie nee Roddan.
I am a terrible transcriber. The first problem is that I'm not sure of
the proper order of the pages. The second problem is that I'm not very
good at reading old hand writing. I believe I've accurately transcribed
the actual information. I have noted with parentheses and question marks
the parts of which I was not sure.
