He moved to Kentucky right after the war, and later got a pension from KY. What I'm looking for is medical records from during the war. I know NARA has them for USA soldiers but I don't know where to look for CSA. This ancestor had "a bullet near his spine that was never removed" so there should be something. I guess I should send for his military records (whish NARA should have). Carol Botteron (that's French Swiss) <botteron@alum.mit.edu>
