Thanks for your tip. I will work on that angle. Liz Parmalee -----Original Message----- From: nyononda-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nyononda-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of orion135@juno.com Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 12:02 PM To: nyononda@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYONONDA] NYONONDA Digest, Vol 2, Issue 134 Liz, It might be more fruitful to follow the paper trail in Constantia, Oswego county and see if his enlistment papers are there. There is also a possibility that he received bounty money for enlisting and records maybe found at the county level. I would start with the town clerk in Constantia and work my way forward from there. I found ten George W John son's who served from NY had a residence in NY and survived the war, so there are many suspects to check. (Civilwardata.com, a subscription based business) Sometimes these people enlisted where friends or family members did, so I would also look for information in those places. A second obit may have been printed in an Oswego county newspaper since he was from there originally. Hope this helps.

I picked him out as the one a while ago, and it was not him. So now I have a Civil War Pension on someone it wasn't. Take care, and thanks a lot. I appreciate the help.

I will keep the Onondaga County Library in mind. Does it just have Onondaga History or does it carry history for the region. I live in Knoxville, TN and might come up sometine. Thanks again. I have been on vacation or I would have responded earlier.
