I recently examined a Knapp Civil War pension file at the National Archives that turned out not to be my line, It seemed wasteful not to copy a key pages, which I'm pleased to share with anyone, so: Chauncey Knapp of Pittsford, Hillsdale County, MI, applied for a pension May 3, 1910 [actually, he already had one, this application was to make it larger]. His Declaration for Pension says he enrolled at Fort Leavenworth on Aug. 1, 1861, in Co. A, 6th Kansas Volunteer Infantry and was discharged July 18, 1865 at Devalls Bluff [no state]. A carpenter, he was born April 28, 1835, at Franklin, MI [that's in Oakland County]. Also in the file is an "Affidavit as to Family Record Entries" that lists his family (parents and siblings) as "the following is a true copy of so much of the family record as relates to the names, dates of birth [pre-printed phrase crossed out] Chauncey Knapp and I believe the same to be correct": Ebenezer Knapp, b. July 12, 1798 Hannah Knapp, b. Dec. 18, 1802 Mary Knapp, b. May 9, 1820 Stephen Knapp, b. May 5, 1822, d. Dec. 10, 1847 Matilda Knapp, b. Sept 7, 1824, d. Jan 7, 1825 Matilda K. Knapp, b. Jan. 23, 1826, d. July 2, 1835 Saphrona Knapp, b. April 18, 1828, d. Nov. 1, 1828 Brunson C. Knapp, b. May 4, 1830 Chauncey Knapp, b. April 28, 1835 Harriett M. Knapp, b. July 11, 1838. Duncan
