Harriette: The Account Records will do find, I hope it indicates who the pay goes to. The NARA does not have the Pay Vouchers. All they have is Samuels application for Pension in 1834 and his Re-Application in 1844, plus a letter from a relative in Austin, Texas back in 1931. I have these records. This persons name was Ray Riggs who I believe is one my grandfather's half-brothers son. Also cannot find anything else about him.
