How you obtain a Revolutionary War and Bounty Land Warrants pension file, will probably depend on where you live. If you live near one of NARA's Regional Records Services Facilities, you can obtain a copy from microfilm at those locations. Use of the film is free.
Copies are usually twenty-five cents per page.
When using the Revolutionary War and Bounty Land Warrants microfilm, pay particular attention to which microfilm publication you are viewing at that facility. The M804 publication contains all documents found in the soldier's file. There is a second microfilm publication for Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrants, M805. This publication contains only those documents found in the first part of the soldier's file which are deemed of genealogical value. Some Regional Facilities may have M805 rather than M804.
