JO MIUTAR Y PENSION LEGISLA TION [268 were still living.'^ For the benefit of these five, Congress passed the private act of February 27, 1865, granting each of them a gratuity of three hundred dollars annually during his natural life, in addition to the pensions already being paid them according to law."* By June 30, 1867, all the Revolutionary soldiers on the pension rolls had died, but, during the following fiscal year, two other Revolutionary soldiers were pensioned by special act at $500 p...er annum. Daniel F. Bakeman, the last survi- vor, died on April 5, 1869. On June 30, 1869, the names of 887 Revolutionary widows were still borne on the rolls, al- though the actual number living was without doubt some- what less on account of unreported deaths.^ Some addi- tional provisions for Revolutionary widows were made in acts of February 18. 1867, July 27, 1868, and March 9, 1878, but these were entirely unimportant in their results/ From the first resolution of August, 1 7y6^ to the legisla- tion of March, 1878, we have reviewed over a century of Revolutionary pension laws.
