Robert, Is it possible for you to do a lookup for my g-g-grandfather Samuel Smith?? I went to the trouble of sending for his records to NARA after getting his cemetery card fron the Westchester Archives. NARA couldn't find his records which puzzled me no end when I had all his info. I had asked them for both service record and pension record.
