Tam, There is no Stephen R. Dolton in the roster that I have of the 9th NYHA. If he was discharged for a service-related disability, he probably got a pension. There was definitely money paid for pensions although the amounts seem puny today. One of my g-g-grandfathers was hit by a musket ball in the left foot and lost three toes and part of the foot. He was awarded a 1/4 pension amounting to $6.00 per month. It had been increased to $10.00 by the time of his death in 1898. Ancestry gets its Civil War data from Historical Data Systems (www.civilwardata.com). The HDS site shows the information that you have below, it allows more search options than the Ancestry one. You can get copies of the service records and pension files for Stephen R. Dolton from the National Archives and Records Administration for $10.00 each. The pension file in particular frequently has a lot of good genealogical information, especially if a dependent applied for a pension at some point.

DOLTON on a Civil War site (Ancestry) I came up with Co. D 75 NY Inf. private enlisted 14 oct. 1861 Lockport NY...discharged disability on 09 dec. 1863. Would this mean that this man received a pension ??? I know so little about the Civil War. Was there even enough $$ for pensions ??? If this is my man I've been looking for him for 33 years....what a find this would be. Thank all of you for your help. I sure do love this computer.
