Looking for information, connection and suggestions on how to obtain additional data in order to request copy of the Civil War pension/allotment papers. James BURNS b circa 1843 in Ireland married Margaret KERRIGAN. Their daughter Agnes BURNS was born in Lakewood, NJ c 1863. The father James BURNS was killed fighting for the Union in the Civil War the same year the child was born. The mother Margaret KERRIGAN BURNS received an allotment for the unborn child. The family had moved to Scranton, PA. The child Agnes BURNS m James GERRITY c 1878 and after James GERRITY died married a LAWLER. Agnes BURNS GERRITY LAWLER died in Scranton in 1927. Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions Regards, Walt
