The Civil War Pension file of Riley Rampley contains testimony from these three comrades Eli Short, Wilford Cubbage and Wilford Manlove. All men lived in either Hancock or Adams Counties. I am contemplating ordering their complete pension files in order to determine if Riley provided testimony in their cases or if their pensions shed any additional light on his service. Ordering the complete pension is $37 each from the National Archives. Are there any relatives of Cubbage, Manlove or Short, who would like to chip in? I would send a copy of my copy or scan the whole file and send it to you. Thanks! Michael Riley is my great-great-grandfather -- ------------------------------------ Michael John Neill 2007 Salt Lake City Research Trip http://www.rootdig.com/slctrip.html

Email me directly at: [email protected] And I'll see if we can do this the easy way. Names changing.....An Irishman listening to an German Accent, lousy handwriting, bad transcriptions. As they would say in the King and I......etc., etc., etc. Any and all of the above. Her name probably was either a German name which she quit using or she maybe went by a middle name. A lot of people "Angelicized" their names. His name.....I would guess by looking at what I saw was probably "Gottlieb" (spelling?). Anyway....email me direct.....I hate this new system.

Judy, I agree with you on the sponsors. People out there want free genealogy and I do my best on my web sites but they all cost me money. even the web hosting. The materials to buy to put the information on the net and such. People subscribe to Ancestory.com and don't seem to have a problem with making this a million dollar company that it is today on Genealogy. Also, I have an Adams Co Cemetery site we have at IL sav Graves http://www usgennet.org/usa/il/state2/index.htm There are tombstones photos and cemetery listings on the County Cemetery page link. and then go to adams. Have a few more news one to be adding here to it soon. If anyone wants or would like to add anything to the site let me know. Thanks for your help.
