Also, if you have access to the census thru Ancestry.com, the 1900 census has an entire district (144) in Quincy devoted to the residents of the Soldiers & Sailors home. Most were civil war vets. There are 39 pages of censuses with about 50 names per page.

Liggett died in the Soldiers and Sailors home in Quincy. He served in the Civil War. I have found no record of him there at the State Archives. I've requested his military records, but I am still waiting. I found a death certificate at the Archives, but I don't believe it is my James Liggett.
