This is the 9th patriot ancestor I have written about for this series for the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War. Abner Poland, Jr, b. 1761, served seven years until the Battle of Yorktown. He recieved the Badge of Military Merit from George Washington for his service in 1795, and a military pension. His widow recived a pension, too, after his death. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/05/my-revolutionary-war-patriots-abner_02014071889.html
