Hello Bill Massey, Frances has told me that you are quite the Civil War buff. And that you might have information on W. D. Gillum, husband of Mary A. Brooks and James McCoy, husband of Amanda L. Brooks. I have found a reference to a pension for W. D. Gillum but I am having trouble finding out what happened to James. He is last found in the 1860 census with Amanda and one small child. She is found next in 1870 living with her parents with her 2 children and Mary A. is living there as well. Her parents were Thoams F. Brooks & Hellen Edwards. Thanks.
