Since daughter Mary (ODENBAUGH) Hughes was married in March 1815, even
though the "commencement of pension on 17 Feb 1815" was a month earlier, this or
her age could be the reason Mary's name is not listed with "names of the heirs."
Gerry's note: The 1880 memoir of Charles' great
grandson, Thomas Hughes, mentions that he died "on the Lakes" during the
War of 1812. According to notes in Virginia Thomas' files,
Charles served in the War of 1812, having enlisted 5/29-1812 for a period
of five years, in the company of Capt. Daniel McFarland, 22nd Regt. PA.
Regulars, U. S. Infantry, commanded by Col. McFeely. The war didn't end
until 1813, but I think the battle of New Orleans actually occurred AFTER
the treaty was signed, and I think that was in 1813 or 1814.
Faye found: Charles Odenbaugh is listed in THE PENSION ROLL OF 1835 printed by
Duff Green in 1835. This book is only for Revolutionary War pensions. Faye
searched for Charles in the 1812 books and could find him there.
Faye's note: I will get back to you immediately after I see if I can find this
index. We found Charles in Volume II. The front page says it is for the
states of Delaware, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Heading of the
page he is listed on is "Statement of Heirs of non commissioned Officers,
Privates, &c. -Continued. I will have to go page by page is see if it
mentions anything about 1835b.
Faye wrote on 10/30/03:
Charles Odenbaugh's widow and children received his pension in
accordance with the second section of the Act of April 16, 1816. I still
haven't been able to find exactly what the "second section" says.
Georgeann checked these microfilms at the National Archives - Seattle
branch on 10/30/03.
None of these microfilms had a listing for Charles Odenbaugh unless his
name would have been misspelled very differently. On the films indexed by
state, I checked Maryland and Pennsylvania listings.
