Lenora, I'm in contact with a man that lives in Washington, DC. He does research at NARA (for a fee) and has a 7-day turn-around----sure beats the 2-3 months NARA advertises! I thought of you when I read one of the things he offers: "3) Provide many military documents to you that the National Archives will not, such as, Prisoner of War/Prison Records (both Union and Confederate), Burial Records, U.S. Army Records, Muster Rolls of Volunteers and U.S. Army, etc." Did you get the Prisoner of War/Prison Records of that Mitchell you were looking for---or his burial records? As I've told you before, my g-grandmother gave information that wasn't exactly accurate---just close enough to be considered clues. She said that Clara Alice Trump (who married Theodore Baxter Hayes) was the daughter of "Isaac" Trump and Hester Ritzel. I found a widow's pension application that a Hester Trump filed on an "Isaiah" Trump in 1862. This man is going to check the file for me to see if "Isaac" was actually "Isaiah"---for $12, I couldn't ignore the possibility! If it's the person I'm hoping it is, I have 2 options---the most expensive was $48. Also, the family was on the Stewart Co. census, living with Henry and Hester "Swaggle"----I found a record where Hester Trump married Henry "Swauger" in 1868. I'll let you know how the research goes! Whoever said "Don't sweat the small stuff" sure doesn't do genealogy! Sandy Ellis
