Search the Chambersburg Claims Database
After the war Pennsylvania established a claims
commission to review petitions for reimbursement for damages
sustained during the war by communities along the border. A
great majority of the claims came from Franklin County, largely
because of the burning of Chamberburg. This database is a
searchable set of the 594 Chambersburg claims.
