I may be able to help a little on this. My G/gf (and i'm old enough to have known him when I was a yyoungster) was in Moreland's Reg. He received his pension from the State of TX but had several endorsers with MS connections. I recall the Grisham name in some docs I've seen on the area since it is so popular these days. Some of my info was taken from the "Battle of Iuka" and "History of Tish CO" found in the research area of the UM Library. Have notes at the office and will followup if you think might be of help?

Oh yes! I would greatly appreciate any help on these folks I can get! If I could actually find Nancy's pension file, it may give us the date she died. Samuel Grisham supposedly died in Missouri in 1867 and then Nancy came back and lived with one her daughters who married a McDougal, but I cannot find her on the 1870 census, nor in 1900. She claimed she was living with Jasper Streetman, her son-in-law, when she applied for the Widow's Pension. I think she was also getting some sort of state pension too, but I don't know what that would have been. thanks!
