Hi, Laurie. Do you have the information from Ancestry.com? If your William B. Crout was born about 1831, lived in Germantown with wife Rebecca and was a fireman in 1880 census, there is an entry showing a Civil War pension certificate. Copies of pension records can be ordered from the National Archives in D.C. If you want those certificate numbers and any census info I found, let me know.

CROUT, and I deleted the e-mail after writing down the information. I went to the wrong place, traveling to the Civil War Library and Museum, which is a wonderful place to visit, but it does not have any records on Crout. The kind folks there suggested it may be the GAR museum that would be of help, but I'm lost when it comes to any type of war research, and I'd appreciate help in locating these records (again) please. ==== PAPHILAD Mailing List ==== Keep informed of the latest news and new databases, webpages and mailing lists at RootsWeb.
