      Page 4:
      in looking them over he came across a half sheet, or leaf, of paper in his said fathers hand writing and on which he found the record of marriages commencing with the 15th day of February 1774 and ending the first day of November of the same year, on which half sheet or leaf of a book is the record of the marriage of said Henry Huber in the record spelled in the German Henrich Huber to Elizabeth Frank on the 27th M
      This Pension record contains several pages [59 in all] each of which are transcribed in their entirety (see Detail Text tab) :
      *There are many more pages contained in the original NARA file folder than I received when ordering the information from NARA back in 2004. Upon going to Footnote.com and checking their collections, I found the same Pension No. W23,355 which contained 59 pages, not 26 as originally thought. I include all 59 images from Footnote.com (Oct. 2007, greyscale) and the images I received from NARA (2004, black and white).
