Jerry, I was just reviewing your message below in light of my looking at the 1860 US Census for Crosby Whitney. When I first read this message, the volume of information on Crosby lead me to believe that it was Crosby, son of Remmington that you were most interested in. However, the 1860 census put together with this information leads me to now think that the Crosby born in Illinois in 1846 would be a better choice as your relative. Two things: Why are you interested in Crosby, son of Remmington? Crosby Whitney of the 44th Iowa received a pension, filed in the State of Kansas. His widow, Lucinda, received a widow's pension, filed from the State of California. Are you interested in me obtaining the pension applications?
