This Accrued Pension Form is found in the Civil War Pension File of my paternal third great-grandfather. My third great-grandmother filed this on 13 September, 1909, over five years after his death. At this time, she was living at 1201 East Chelton Avenue in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over 11 miles from the home she shared with her husband and different than the address at which she was living when the 1910 Census was taken.
According to this document, she was awarded her late husband's accrued pension.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
