Hi Everyone :) I took a trip to the National Archives in DC last month and copied some Civil War Pension files, one is done, that is the one for Aden Rigney, son of George T. and Mahala Jones Rigney, grandson of Joab and Mary Anna Godbey Rigney. I've posted the file on my Maxpages website (the link is below) and there is a great deal of information. It was one of those treasures you hope to find, it listed his first wife's full name, his second wife's full name, her parents names, the names of his children along with his daughters married name. In the file was also a letter from him to the pension department telling them were he lived between 1866 and 1898! He included states, counties and cities :), pretty wonderful for my first search :) I've got more files to transcribe they include: Francis Rigney, son of Susan and William (I believe) Rigney; John F. Rigney, son of George T. and Mahala Jones Rigney; Josiah Rigney, son of George T. and Mahala Jones Rigney, Joab Rigney, Jr., son of Joab and Mary Anna Godbey Rigney; Robert Stroud's pension application, I think this is the father of Amanda Stroud Bolar Rigney-wife of John F. Rigney; Amanda's first husband William H. Bolar pension file, John F. Rigney pension file and Amanda and William's son Millard's minor file and William Bolar's pension file are all combined into John F. Rigney's pension file. Plus I have the pension file for Jacob Spaw, he was married to Amanda Rigney's sister, Eliza. I have not transcribed anyone's file except Aden's at this time, I'm working on them tho and I'll let you all know as soon as I get them done. Just thought I'd let you all know :) take care and enjoy :) ttylater Rena www.maxpages.com/generations http://OurVisualGenealogy.homestead.com/main.html http://StatesOfHeritage.homestead.com/main.html http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/i/g/Renamarie-Voron/ @>-^-----
