I just received a Pension Documents Packet from the National Archives.(I applied in Jan. and received this May 15) I sent in the official application, asking for documents on my great grandfather, Wiot H. Clarke a veteran of the Civil War in Kansas. I didn't receive much new info from the records they sent me, than I already had. The documents they sent included the: 'Declaration for Original Pension of Widow-Child or Children under Sixteen years of age surviving', The 'Widow Claim for Pension', and a copy of the original marraige certificate. That will cost $14.75...charged to my credit card. What I'm wondering is, has anyone sent for the upgrade...'Full Pension Application File'? This one costs $ 37.00. I'm wondering if I would have gotten tons more info with a request for that package. I know that Wiot Clarkes family moved to Arkansas and that his widow Jenette Stanbro received pension money there. I was hoping for records of where she lived when she received the pension and if my grandfather , Charles Wiot Clarke had also been able to collect. Thanks, Linda Owen
