I just received William H. H. Lewis' pension records. They have a Polly (looks like HICKS) as his wife. She filed for widow's benefits in 1895. They describe Wm as: 5 ft. 7 1/2 in.; complexion fair; hair, light; and eyes, blue. He was in excellent health when he joined the 54th KY vol. Sept, 1864. But took sick with fever Dec. 1864 at Bean Station, TN. Was in the hospital in Lexington then rejoined the army agian at Shelbyville, KY for 3 months. He was honorably discharged Sept. 1, 1865. He suffered greatly through the remaining years of his life with the effects of the mercury that was left in his system from treatments he received while in the army and from rhumetism and a urinary problem. Polly was blind at age 45. Does anyone know anything about a wife of his named Polly? She was 45 years old in 1895, when she filed for the Widow's Pension, making her born 1850 which was too young to be the mother of all of Wm's children. The document reads: "Oct. 12, 1895 Polly Lewis applied for widow's pension. She was 45 years old. Married by Marriss Crisp." It has a place for children, but none are listed. William Henry Harrison, b. 1813, d. 1895, is my gr gr grandfather and I have his wife as Elizabeth Henry. Anyone know about Polly? Thanks!
