Yes, what you do is write to: National Archives and Records Admin, Textual Referenece Branch, 7th and Penn. ave NW, Washington, DC, 20408. Tell them you need a form NATF 80. When you get the form (ask for a couple) you can ask for either the soldiers pension record or military record . If you have 2 forms send for each in separate envelopes! It is $10.00 each and well worth it! It will take a couple of months. victoria tester wrote: > Hello, everyone. Hoping someone on the list can help.

His gravestone says that he died November 16, 18-- (year looks like 1861 but am not positive) in service of his country at Jeffersonville, but I can find no references to that place. > Also, I have heard that his widow, Sarah, applied for a pension.
