I have a print out of the pension card from Ancestry which states: Name: William B. Morrow Widow: Morrow, Anna M. Service: B 2 Pa. Prov. H. A.

Some of these files are pretty graphic describing their injuries and ailments and provide entire family names and stuff relevant to genealogy. They have a card file there with the numbers if they wern't provided at ancestry.com.
