It is possible there may be some more info on the compiled military service records from NARA. You'll never know unless you order them. Since we are talking about Alabama, and serving the confederacy, I assume you are aware that any pension records would be found in the state archives of the state administering the confederate pension. Confederates were not eligible for federal pension programs, of course. Whatever state the person was living in at the time of application, is where you'll find the pension record. If you think it was Alabama, here is the web-site for the ADAH: http://www.archives.state.al.us/index.html Jim Gilmer -------Original Message------- From: CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, September 27, 2003 06:05:46 To: CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] LASLIE/45th & 23rd AL I have located the card information for J. LASLIE, 45th AL Infantry, Co. E., and his son, A. M. LASLIE, 23rd AL Infantry, Co., B, I. They are both on Film M374 roll 25. This information is from the National Park Service website. Is it likely if we order the complete record from NARA ($17 each) that we will learn much more than was on the card? We did not locate a widow's pension application card for either of them. It took us a few years to even locate any information on them because the family actually spells the name LESLIE. John LESLIE is buried in the Old Confederate Cemetery in Union Springs, AL. His tombstone reads "John LESLIE, 45h AL Co E." His son, A. M. (Alexander McCaskill) LESLIE went to Illinois at the end of the war and lived there until his death in 1929. He is buried in Morrisonville, Illinois. Thanks for any help!
