Sol diers of Fort Laurens
These men either marched to the Fort Laurens site with General McIntosh on his November 1778 journey and most likely helped construct the fort, actually served in defense of the fort, or were on one of the attempted resupply missions to Fort Laurens from Fort Pitt.
This information was obtained from the applications the men submitted to the American government to qualify for a Revolutionary War pension. Some of the pension applications are published here and can be accessed by clicking the name of the individual. Many more are available by contacting us at the Foundation and requesting a copy.
The applications are reproduced as they were actually written. We have not attempted to correct any grammar or misspellings. Only information that is relevant to Fort Laurens is presented. Additional names that appeared in the applications have been printed in bold type. Where possible, we included names of spouses; and places of birth, death dates and marriages. This information is italicized and is located in the last paragraph.
