Thanks for your info on the West/Bowling families. Sorry it took so long to respond, life is very busy this time of year. I dont know much on either family, but I do have alot on the Daugherty family. I have been searching for months for the infamous Martha Duncan who had an affair with Daniel Daugherty b.1859 and that sort of consumed my mind and time for quite a while. I also dont know much on the Harness family either. I do have a picture of Joel West, not the best picture, but it does show his face. I'd be happy to share if your interested.

Tim, Thanks for your reply, sorry it took so long for me to get back with you, its a busy time of year for me. If I can fill in any of your blanks I'd certainly be happy to. I just started researching the West/Bowling families. So I pretty much don't know anything. I have alot on the Daugherty family though. I do have one picture of Joel West which isnt the best, but it does show his face. I have no pictures or info on Delitha Harness or Clarinda Bowling.

>From Ancestral Findings: "Veterans' Schedules: U.S. Selected States, 1890" =========================================================== Veteran's schedules were forms that the census takers had with them when they were taking the regular population count. In 1890, these extra veterans' schedules were meant only to record information about Union soldiers and their widows. However, many census takers also recorded information about Confederate soldiers, as well as soldiers who served in different wars, including the War of 1812 and the Mexican- American War. You should note that these veterans' schedules are often used as a partial substitute for the 1890 federal census, because the federal government's copy was destroyed by fire. Fragments of the 1890 census may exist in state and local repositories throughout the U.S., but they are difficult to locate and not complete. While not listing everyone who would have been included in the 1890 census, the veterans' schedules are a partial head-of-household list for those who were old enough to have served in the Union Army during the Civil War. States represented include AL, D.C. IL, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY.

>From Ancestral Findings: "Military Records: Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865" =========================================================== This database contains the complete index of the National Archives microfilm roll number M918, Register of Confederate Soldiers, Sailors, and Citizens Who Died in Federal Prisons and Military Hospitals in the North 1861-1865. The collection includes the names of approximately 25,000 individuals. After the Civil War, federal law did not provide for the burial or marking of graves for Confederate soldiers who died in the North. At the turn of the century, however, Confederate veterans' groups convinced the government to pass a statute that provided for the appropriate marking of these graves. As part of the project, the government compiled the 665-page register.
