Hi Donna, No I never sent off for Leroy's pension papers. Would there be papers to ask for,,,even though no one ever applied for his pension? If so, what do I need to do to order them. I received his Civil War roll muster sheets but that was all I requested,,,,Is it the same form? As far as Leroy having a wife earlier,,,,I have his birthday down as March 15, 1836,,taken off his headstone, so that would have made him 25 because he enlisted in June 17, 1861. Kinda old for back then to not be married I guess. But we know for sure he married Sept. 15, 1862 . I looked back on my census sheets that I do have and the 1880 age would also have put him being born in 1836 and the 1900 shows him at 63 (just a year off). The Civil War records of the battles, etc. of 2nd Ashby's, I recieved it from a fellow back east and he said most of the dates, places and information came from the Institute for Civil War Research in Middle Village N.Y. Williams' last roll muster showed he was still with the 2nd Ashby Unit so the dates and battles will correspond with him also. Just got back into the gen stuff,,,,,,email had been shut down for a while,,,,had to upgrade and re-install,,,,so hopefully no more glitches,,,,lol Sent off a couple of snail mails to g granddaughters of Dee Huddleston to see if someone in the family might have a few older pics of Dee and possibly even Lee or Adaline or others. Hope things are going better on the home front.
