Notes:
* On 15 November, 1871, George Haven Downs applied for a War of 1812 pension in Cooper Co., Missouri. Said application was sworn to before Thomas J. Starke, Clerk of the Cooper County Court of common Pleas and witnessed by Thomas V. Ellis and Issac M. Downs (Issac M. was George's grandson). He states that he is not married and that had he married Olive Pingry on 13 April, 1817 (evidently Olive was already dead ). He further states that he was drafted at Sandwich, New Hampshire and served sixty days as a musician (fifer) in Captain Courson's Company, New Hampshire Militia.
