You can order them, but I forget how much they are right now - abt $75 or more I think. I had been going to DC about twice a year and rounded up a lot for my family and others, but not going right now. Obediah Pittman applied for a pension Application #548 928, Certificate #514 648 from Ohio. Ruth applied for a pension after he died, but I can't read the dates. Anyway here Application # 645 942 and Certificate # 444 938 from West Virginia. Since a certificate was issued a pension was given both times and they have consolidated the files together. I would offer to pick one up but it might be a while before I get back there. I understand they are going to extend their research hours again after April 15 so perhaps in the spring. Anything else I can do to help you, let me know. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
