I have not been following your exchange of pension records information closely, but the recent message caught my attention. Confederate Pensions were issued by the State. When I wrote for my grandfather's pension, [he served in Co. B. (Captain Phillips), Harrell's Battalion, Arkansas Cavalry, C.S.A.) , I wrote to the Texas State Archives because he was living in Texas when he received his pension. Union Pension Applications are in the National Archives. The other grandfather was in the Union Army and his pension file was in the National Archives. No it appears they did not meet during the war or later. I checked through the "War of the Rebellion" and found no indication they were in the same area at the same time. Someone provided my with his brother's pension but I did see the names in the AR book. Who ever has the book listing the pension application information should check the front of the book. I believe the book gives the address where to send for the pension. An added bit of information of interest. While the pension application files are in the state files, the "actual Military Record" is in the National Archives. When the CSA units surrendered all the records were confiscated by the Union Army and became property of the Federal Government. Those records have been filmed by the LDS church and the films are in the Family History Library in Salt Lake. I found my family, but the only thing still legible was the name and unit . However some of the others on the film were better. Sorry to poke my nose into this exchange, but I didn't think anyone would be happy if they sent for records and endured what is often a long wait only to find the request went to the wrong place. Good Luck with your search. Jonelle Ellis Russell
