    3. General Wolfe was noted for his service in the French and Indian Wars, which preceded the Revolution. He died in 1770. Is it possible that you have an incorrect date of birth for your ancestor? Otherwise, he may have served under some other general. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Conroy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [KYWBTSVETS] Military research at the National Archives > Yes I have access to Ancestry but have never found him there as having > fought in the Indian wars.

    3. Hi Listers, Was anyone else like me unsure which war their ancestor fought in? Mine was born in 1766 and family records say he fought with General Wolfe in some Indian wars in two counties that eventually became West Virginia in the 1780's. He was too young for the Rev. war and I am sure he did not fight in the War of 1812 but was busy raising his family in Harrison County, Ky. I found out the executor of his will, his son in law, applied for a pension after he died in 1853 in Iowa as part of his duties as executor. I was surprised because his wife was dead, he was dead, and his children were grown up so I am not sure why he would have applied for a pension. He did have one "idiot" adult son and one of his daughters had left four orphans however. So I am going to get the help on offer from Kelley but am not sure where to start with no definite idea of which war and why it was applied for at all. Anyone have any ideas who has applied for pension papers before?

    3. You have to know which war he fought in - well, at least I did when I ordered the package from the National Archives. Do you have access to ancestry.com? That site has a pretty comprehensive list of veterans. Tell me his name again and I'll see what I can find for you. Sandra Griffett Human Resources - Winchester Lamp Plant 859-745-3354 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Conroy Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 8:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KYWBTSVETS] Military research at the National Archives Hi Listers, Was anyone else like me unsure which war their ancestor fought in? Mine was born in 1766 and family records say he fought with General Wolfe in some Indian wars in two counties that eventually became West Virginia in the 1780's. He was too young for the Rev. war and I am sure he did not fight in the War of 1812 but was busy raising his family in Harrison County, Ky. I found out the executor of his will, his son in law, applied for a pension after he died in 1853 in Iowa as part of his duties as executor. I was surprised because his wife was dead, he was dead, and his children were grown up so I am not sure why he would have applied for a pension. He did have one "idiot" adult son and one of his daughters had left four orphans however. So I am going to get the help on offer from Kelley but am not sure where to start with no definite idea of which war and why it was applied for at all. Anyone have any ideas who has applied for pension papers before?

    3. His brother's name was on one of the papers and so was the name of his last wife. I learned that he was kicked in the head by a horse while in the military and almost died. I learned that he lived in Illinois for a period of time which is something that no one in the family was aware of. Learned that he took part in the parade in D.C. at the end of the civil war (he was with Sherman's troops). Very interesting reading. It took me days to go thru everything. It's well-worth the money to get the papers.
