I have his pension records and sent for his military records 2 months ago but they are slowwwww! The pension records have his 2nd wife (I still don't know his 1st wife, my gg grandmother). One interesting thing about the pension record is that it told when and where he died and lo and behold, 6 miles from where I live in 1903! He is in an unmarked grave so I have ordered a headstone for him and will have a ceremony when it arrives. Thanks for everyones help. He came from Ireland but I don't know when or who his family is so I would appreciate any help.
