My name is Kelley -- I recently completed my Masters degree and am going to law school this fall here in Washington, D.C. School is expensive and I could use some extra money to pay for tuition and loans, so I am offering to do military research at the National Archives (service files, pension files, etc). Generally, a request for this kind of information takes the Archives several months, at a minimum, to process. I can retrieve them much faster and also give you someone to interact with instead of a government form. My fees are reasonable, intended to compensate me for my time, printing costs and postage for what I'll send back to you. The Archives offers extended hours once a month, so I would be doing research over the course of three days each month, and I am more than happy to send you a schedule.

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.

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?

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.
