Greg, I got William's pension papers today. For some reason, he had two applications. Doesn't say the first were rejected...anyway, glad I did as lots of stuff came with them referencing other names. Did you get pension papers on LeeRoy? These say William was born in Anderson County, and both have different birthdates as far as the year! With his widows pension papers, I now have 1838, 1841 ans 1842! All January 10th. I know the Anderson border changed, I'm looking into time frames now. However if Thomas and Mary got married in 1838, they should have been in Anderson in 1840, unless the boundaries changed right at that time. There are Hunley's listed, but the wife is listed as 30-40, and too many kids listed. Remember how you thought Lee Roy's bd was earlier than would work out with their marriage? I wonder if there was a previous wife??? If Lee Roy was born earlier, then William was born in 1838, not in 1841 or 1842, poss the mom could have died in childbirth, and Thomas remarried 3 months later in April??? When I sent to Washington, I did not have pension #'s, and all they did was duplicate the widow's pension records I already had. I got these from the TN library. Where did you get the print out about the CW? The one that listed all the specific battles? I have yet to get one on William. I'll have t look through Lee Roy's printout. I now know William was wounded in Somerset, KY and Loudon, KY. I'll have Rick make copies for you this next week. If you have any reference to where Lee Roy was born, please let me know. Maybe that will help zero in on who Thomas's father was.....sigh! I have been bombarded with info on all the other lines. So I hope to get started on the site again. I have been trying to get Jean to send me copies of Jesse's info, I'll prod again. She has been running in a lot of other directions for the last few months.....but I'll prod again today :) Donna
