There is no estate or probate record for him. His death date is only recorded in a family Bible. I think now I might have a way to get my answers. I found that Sylvester has a Civil War Pension Record. Problem is that it's $37 and I can't afford that right now. I'm going back to work so I'll get it soon. I'm retired right now, for the 4th time, but Lockheed in Ft. Worth has already called and wants me back, so I'll probably go. Boeing in Wichita wants me too. I'm considering both. Thanks, Jim . .

I have received pension records and for a lot less than that. What state is that from? I got two from TX that were less than $5 each.

Is that his pension record, or his war record? I always get the pension record from the state, and they are usually on microfilm, which you might order to view at your local library. I have copied such pension records from the microfilm also, at a library with a view/copy machine, at a minimal charge per page. Is there a site for Indiana pension records index, anyone? This is the site to look up units or individual soldiers. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm At 06:27 PM 8/3/2005 -0400, you wrote: >There is no estate or probate record for him.
