Pension Index Card File, alphabetical; of the Veterans Administrative Contact and Administration Services, Admin. Operations Services, 1861-1934; Duff to A-J Duncan (negative FHL film 540,888, some cards very faint); Joseph Duncan to Dunn (positive FHL film 540,889, some cards very dark)
Cataloged under Civil War, 1861-1865, pensions, indexes; does not say if Confederate or Federal, but probably Federal. Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application. Most of the very faint or dark cards were in a slightly different format, with space for years enlisted and discharged which were sometimes filled in. Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.
Name of soldier, alias, name of dependent widow or minor, service (military unit or units), date of filing, class (invalid or widow or minor or other), Application #, Certificate #, state from which filed (sometimes blank), attorney (sometimes blank, MAD: did not usually copy), remarks. Sometimes the "Invalid" or "Widow" class had an "s" added to it before the application #; occasionally the area for the service information included a circled "S". The minor's name was frequently that of the guardian rather than the minor.
The military unit was frequently the Company Letter, the Regiment Number, sometimes US Vet Vol Inf. (US Veteran Volunteer Infantry), L.A. (Light Artillery), H.A. (Heavy Artillery), US C Inf (US Colored? Infantry), Cav. (Cavalry), Mil. Guards, V.R.C. (?Volunteer Reserve Corps?), etc. Sometimes there were several service units given.
Cards appear to be arranged by the last name, first name, middle initial if any, and state (including "US") of service.

Pg.619-620: ASAHEL DUFF, resident of Spring Creek township, farm ... born in Detroit township, Pike county, February 10, 1846, and is a son of Asahel and Abigail (Milligan) Duff. Tradition says that the Duff family in America were descended from 13 Irish brothers, all of whom were in revolt against King George and the English government when living in Ireland. The family name at that time was spelled McDuff. A price was set upon the heads of these brothers ... and they emigrated to America ... changed name from McDuff to Duff. Before separating after they came to America they agreed to maintain the old Christian names commonly in use in the McDuff family, including John, James, Andrew, Philip, Joseph and Dennis. These names frequently appear among the relatives of this day. The brothers ... served in the cause of liberty during the Revolutionary war, ... then separated and settled in different states of the newly formed Union. Philip Duff, grandfather of our subject, was a native of Kentucky and was a son of one of the original 13 McDuff brothers who came to the new world. He married a Miss Duncan, and unto them were born eight children, five sons and three daughters, namely: Andrew D., Alfred, John, Hiram, Asahel, Ann, Jane and Lydia Duff. Of these Andrew D. and John served in the Mexican war. Andrew D. Duff was also ... circuit judge in a district which contained Jackson, Marion, Franklin, Williamson and Saline counties. Asahel Duff, father of our subject, was born in Kentucky and at an early age accompanied his parents from that state to Saline Co. IL, where they lived for a short time and then removed to Franklin Co. IL. Later Asahel Duff, Sr., came to Pike County, where for many years he carried on general agricultural pursuits. He married Miss Abigail Milligan, whose parents were natives of Milledgeville, Tennessee ... The death of Asahel Duff, father of our subject, occurred in Newburg township, Pike county, in 1857, age 56 years; his wife who was born in 1808, also passed away in this county when 77 years of age. ...
