This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MANUEL, FANNIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EKB.2ACE/676.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I was able to find this information on Charles A. MANUEL's Civil War Service Record, but I don't know what all the abbreviations stand for: He served in M 4 Prov. En. Mo. Mil. Could this be Provinical Engineer in the Missouri Militia? On 17 MAR 1892, John M. FANNIN (a minor) applied for Charles' pension. The application number is S43903, and the Certificate numbert is 368221. Is it possible that Charles was the guardian for John M. FANNIN? I pulled this information off a civil war pension index, so I hope this is helpful to you.
