And Sylvanus would have been classified as an "enlisted volunteer", not regular army. -----Original Message----- From: Max Ward [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 8:13 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [MABERKSH] Marriage Record So, with this data, the pension cert # 110405, and identifying his mother Antoinette as the dependent/requestor, you can get the pension record. At a minimum, you'll find out where Antoinette was living as well as when and where she died, since the record will indicate that when the monthly payments stop. Plus, you will also get some interesting reading. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donna Rhyne Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 7:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MABERKSH] Marriage Record Name: Sylvanus Muller , Residence: Chicopee, Massachusetts Occupation: Machinist Enlistment Date: 16 Jul 1862 Side Served: Union State Served: Massachusetts Service Record: Enlisted as a Sergeant on 16 July 1862 at the age of 24 Enlisted in Company A, 37th Infantry Regiment Massachusetts on 02 September 1862.
