This was not in the medical records, although what we had in his pension files included brief medical data. This was obtained from another source and I don't know where he got it. He does a huge amount of reading and finds all sorts of obscure records in them. Sorry I can't help you more than that. I do know that when one requests military pension papers from NARA that you have to specifically ask them to include ALL the pertinent files such as medical or they will only do a short version of the files.

Sorry I can't be more specific than that. Carol It may have been from the National Archives. MANY years ago I sent for my 2nd great grandfather's, John Granville Stokes, Civil War pension records. They sent me many pages and I was a very happy camper. A few years ago I was in Washington DC and just for fun I decided to look at his actual pension records. Much to my surprise there were medical records I had not been sent. Maybe they have some policy not to send medical records?
