Diane, I checked the Pension Index Files on both Ancestry and Footnote to see if I could find any information on Francis D'Avignon's pension. On both Ancestry and Footnote, the only pension index card was on the Francis D'Avignon who was the surgeon from New York. There was absolutely nothing on your Francis D'Avignon. Also, I checked the other spelling variation and came up with nothing. It sounds like he or his family possibly did not receive a pension for his service. The only pension file that I found for a soldier with this surname from Massachusetts was one for Alexander D'Avignon, Musician, Co. H, 17th Massachusetts Infantry. He died at Boston on May 6, 1873. He enlisted on October 21, 1861 and was discharged on January 14, 1863. His widow filed for the pension on July 17, 1911. Edward

Edward, Thank you for looking. Alexander D'Avignon, was the son of Francis. I received his Pension file which provided me with his final resting place. He is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Boston, MA. I contacted the cemetery and Alexander is buried with his two daughters that died young. Diane Laferriere
