Becky, Did you request Penelope's pension application? If so, that should have some of the military info on it. Some of those pension applications are real gold mines. The only other source that I can think of might be the DAR? By the way, I have the Mooring stuff copied & ready to put in the mail tomorrow. Re: Findlay in the previous message. Where are they located? One of Richard & Priscella EDM's gch m. a Findlay in GA. I can look it up, if it's relevant.

Yes, matter of fact they explain on the paperwork that you will get more information by asking for the pension files, which is exactly what I asked for. They said his military information would be included in these files. Then of course, it came back that a search was done but nothing was found!! I don't know what to think of this or how to proceed now.
