On my original post, dated 10/16/2004, I stated one of Daniel Character's sons was Giles. Looking through Giles's pension record he states "he was mistaken as to his age" on the original application in 1899. Since then,"he visited his mother in Georgia" & she says "his birthdate is 23 Mar. 1839". My point is, Daniel's wife (Jemimah) died in Clay Co. in 1888 (I have verfication) & he says he visited his mother in 1899. So, she is not his mother & it looks like Daniel is not his father. Can anyone shed light on who Giles belonged to? Kitty Bussey kmbussey@yahoo.com
