This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BREWER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zMB.2ACI/915.1 Message Board Post: I find a listing in Kentucky Civil War Union Volunteers index that indicates, "James Albert Brewer, Report of the Adujant General of the State of Kentucky, Union Kentucky Volunteers, vol. 2, U.S. Colored Troops from Kentucky, Page 46." The page indicates he was mustered in from Louisville, KY. This doesn't sound like the same James Albert Brewer of MO. Could be two different people. In checking the Pension Index, it looks like James' mother, Susan Brewer, applied for his pension and received it. It lists him for E 47 MO Inf. The pension papers might offer some additional information. Mother's Application No. 99207, Pension Certificate No. 110698.
