To refresh your memories, Roger Cashman was born in County Cork, Ireland in 1877. He emigrated here in 1882. Eventually the family settled in the Florence section of Northampton, Massachusetts. > > Roger wandered around the US for years. On his last trip home,he told my Aunt who was just a little girl, he would see her in three years. Then he left Northampton and headed West on a train. He wrote to my g-grandmother for a while and then the letters stopped. > > The last time I updated you I had written a letter to a J. Roger Cashman in South Dakota. That did not yeild any results. However, today I received a response from the National Archives regarding my request for a pension record for our Roger. Though the National Archives does not have possession of the record, they gave me the number of the file and noted the fact that Uncle Roger used an alias! Has anyone ever heard of Wahan J. Tombrell? Anyhow, now I must contact the VA to get the records. This may take some time. I will keep you updated! > > Thank you so much for your expertise, ideas and support. > > The moment I receive the record I will e-mail the list. > > Warmest Regards, > > Liz Banas lizngeo@meganet.net > > > > ==== GEN-UNSOLVED-MYSTERIES Mailing List ==== > Please consider becoming a Rootsweb contributor. > > ============================== > Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: > Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. > http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ >
