This War Department document, filed on May 22, 1891, is found in the Civil War Pension File of my paternal third great-grandfather. He enlisted as a private in Company I of the 215 Regiment of the Pennsylvania Infantry at the end of the Civil War on April 8, 1865. He was discharged at Fort Delaware, a Union prison camp during the war, on July 31, 1865.
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.
