========================================================
If I try to obtain this file what will I learn from it. ERNESTINE (ABERCROMBIE) PEARSON FIELD was the widow and not sure what the application would have asked her. I am most interested in finding the parents of JOHN FIELD (b. PA - and according to his daughter's death record, b. Phila.)

Thanks for any information about the War of 1812 Pension files and also interested in the Bounty Land mentioned.

ERNESTINE's first husband was ROBERT H. C. PEARSON who also served in the War of 1812, but for Kentucky.
