Edward Marden Sr. – What’s a Ranger? (Part 1)

I asked myself, just what was Whitcomb’s Rangers all about? What did they do, where were they headquartered, and what campaigns did they participate in?

Why should it matter in a genealogy project?

Edward Marden Sr. – other Military Records

I found the State of New Hampshire has a lot of records from the Revolutionary War period. I had no problem proving Edward Marden served for the state. Military rolls and other similar documents seldom give us much information, but they are worth looking at.

Edward Marden Sr. – Pension Records (part 4)

I have gone through the pension file and provided my readers with the important key information. If you are a descendant, I encourage you to get the entire pension file for your own records, because I am not covering everything of interest to you in this blog.

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.

Edward Marden Sr. – A Timeline Summary

Every now and then during a research project I like to take time to review and summarize what I have learned and what I still need to learn.

I find creating timelines and studying maps to be incredibly useful tools at this stage of a project.

Creating a timeline consists of listing the data I have found in chronological order.
