I'm en route to LA, but if you don't have easy access to Fold3, I can email you scans with the info you need for the pension files when I get back. I am planning to go to the Archives during the week of Thanksgiving, and if interested I could add this to my list of files to check.Patrick Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017739832967378472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454603795410144652.post-86914566612578936462012-11-14T05:40:17.731-08:002012-11-14T05:40:17.731-08:00Hi True!

Brother James Ellison was also in the 36th Colored Infantry as a drummer (he was 16). There is also a Joshua Ellison (age 19) in the 36th. All three of them mustered out of service in Texas in 1866. Joshua's file contains his enlistment papers. <br /><br />There is a Civil War pension on file for Joshua Ellison and one for Irwin Ellerson, both from same company. My experience from other pension files is that they are a genealogical gold mine.<br /><br />A little random act of genealogical kindness to start the day.Patrick Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017739832967378472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5454603795410144652.post-25575166729967057872012-11-13T20:47:35.868-08:002012-11-13T20:47:35.868-08:00Oops!
