Did you request his service record or the complete pension record? The service record usually has very little other than muster records, but the pension record usually has a lot more information. Use NATF Form 85. You can request the form from the National Archives on line. If you did request the complete pension record, you have probably gotten everything they had. I suppose it is possible that your ggm didn't apply for a pension, but I think most of the widows did -- even if they only rec'd. about $2.00 a month for themselves and each child, it was a help in those hard times. Good luck, Virginia My ggf was in his 50s had six children when he enlisted.. He was killed just over a month later in his second battle. My poor g-grandmother didn't have a recorded marriage license, and had to get a lawyer, appear before a notary and send affidavits from her mother, friends and neighbors to verify that they knew she & her husband were married & the kids were his. Then about 10 years later the government thought she had married again, and cut off her pension (which has "risen" to about $10 a month by then), and she had to jump through those hoops all over again. Most of the kids were of age by then, and they signed affidavits for their mother. It took months to re-establish her eligibility. The entire exchange was in the packet, along with his original enlistment, with physical description and his signature, and also the record of the battle where he was killed, and exactly where the bullet hit him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Reel" <nibbler060@sbcglobal.net> To: <kygreenu@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 5:42 PM Subject: Re: [KYGREENU] Brooker/Dunlap > > virginia, How do I go about requesting pension records.
