Posted on: Mineral County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Mineral~/221 Surname: KEARNEY ------------------------- My great grandfather was Michael Kearney, married to Ellen Cosgrove. I had information from the book "Guarding the River, the Canal, and the Railroad" by Jack Sanders that led me to believe my Michael had been in Company D, 2nd Regiment, Potomac Home Brigade, Maryland volunteers. Sent off to the National Archives for his pension folder. It was returned saying they didn't find a file that matched my description. But they do have one for a Michael Kearney who served in the Civil war, died Mar 18, 1890 in Piedmont, WV, whose wife was Bridget Kearney. The application file number was WC372791. Don't know if this helps or not.
