While I was learning about life in Whitcomb’s Rangers, I also learned about a number of new Locations where Edward spent time during this period of his life. I think a new map is in order so I can see how all these locations relate to each other and the region in general.

Edward Marden Sr. – A Minute Man?
While exploring the letters of Charles S. Marden I learned that Charles believed his great great grandfather, Edward Marden, had served as a Minute Man in April of 1775. Could it be true and if so could it lead to Edward’s family?

Edward Marden Sr. – Pension Records (part 3)
Today I will be looking at the Window’s Pension Documents located in Edward Marden’s Pension Record. These documents provide me with a name and date of marriage for Edward and his last wife. They also provide an interesting bit of family trivia. I find some of the most interesting tidbits of history while reading pension documents.
Edward Marden Sr. – Pension Records (part 1)
Well folks, I am sorry to take so long in getting back to the blog. I wish I could say it was a relaxing break, but Mother Nature had a different plan for me. I live in Maine where we experience “Winter Weather Conditions” (WWC for short) on a regular basis this time of year. I have been doing what seems like an endless series WWC chores since last Friday!
Today I will start posting about the wonderful information found in Edward Marden’s pension record. It can be found at Footnote.com (starting at this address if you subscribe) as well as Heritage Quest and consists of 51 images. I will be posting selected documents from the file on the blog and in our genealogy database.
