Notes - 54 pages of documents regarding Nancy Legg's application for widow's pension.
- Evidence for marriage between Nancy and Harrison
limited to attestations in this document, as apparently their marriage certificates were destroyed during the war.
p 42: Record: "William Beckham", Nancy's brother was present at the wedding 18 February 1814 in Williams county Virginia. He claimed to be custodian of the family bible of their father. which contained family record of this marriage - Claim for Bounty Land
veterans were to be awarded 160 acres of land per an act of 3 Mar 1855.
Harrison Legge's claim 45034 was received 6 Apr 1855.
6 Oct 1855: application for bounty Land #218.115 referred to the 3rd auditor. Next page in this document indicates the 3rd auditor found on rolls of Captain Beazer's Company. Other documents indicate that Harrison did not keep his discharge paper, and it seems he got the Captain's name wrong.
p 39 of attached PDF:
18 July 1872: Third auditors office shows Capt Abram Skillman's company of Virginia Militia shows Harrison Legg serving from 23 Aug 1814 to 16 Sep 1814
The short period of service apparently rendered the claim for Bounty Land insufficient.
