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.

1888 "History of Harrison and Mercer counties, Missouri : from the earliest time to the present; together with ... family records, besides a condensed history of the state of Missouri" by Goodspeed (FHL book 977.8 H2hh)
Pg.398: Settlement of Marion Township, Mercer Co. ... lies on both sides of Grand Fork of Grand River ... among its earliest settlers were James Clark, Joseph Sullivan, D.L. Berry, Greene W. Laughlin, A.M. Clements, J.P. and Solomon Litton, S.H. Porter, James M. Newling, Peter Alley and his sons William and James, Benjamin Sullivan, James H. Brown, Thomas Alley, H.G. Alley, John M. Qualls, and a man by the name of Carmine. Joseph Sullivan emigrated from Whitley Co. KY in 1840, and located two miles east and a half mile south of Lineville. At about the same time, Greene W. Laughlin also located near the State line. ... The land on the MO side of the State line opposite Lineville was entered by T.H.P. Duncan, who built a small log house, which now forms a part of the hotel known as the Duncan House. An amusing incident is told of the way in which Duncan took advantage of his position to baffle the revenue collectors of both IA and MO. Upon the surveying of the State line in 1851 one Fortner built a store near the line. Duncan purchased this building and turned it around so that one end was in MO and the other in IA. At that time IA levied a heavy tax upon the sale of whisky, but none upon the sale of merchandise, while MO, on the other hand, practically had free whisky, but levied a considerable tax upon merchandise. Duncan, therefore, sold his whisky in the MO end of his store and his dry goods, groceries, etc. in the IA side, and thus successfully claimed exemption from taxation.
Pg.405: Mercer Co. ... State Boundary question. ... H.B. Duncan, who lived on the debatable land, in 1848-50 represented Mercer Co. in the Legislature of MO, and a few years later, without changing location, was elected a member of the IA Legislature. The question in dispute at last went to the US Supreme Court, where it was definitely settled, and in 1851 the line was surveyed and the boundary marked by iron posts set ten miles apart.
Pg.416: Mercer Co. ... The first persons sentenced to the penitentiary by the circuit court of Mercer Co. were Simon T. Taylor and John Hill, both of whom received a two years' sentence. ... John Hill stole a bowie-knife, valued at $15, from Benjamin Duncan, and was convicted of grand larceny.
Pg.465: Mercer Co. The Methodists ... Among the 1st settlers of the county were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church ... in the settlement in the northeast part of Marion Twp, meetings were held ... among the members of this class were J.D. Laughlin, Mrs. T.H.P. Duncan, S.B. Porter, ...

Pg.692: Mercer Co. JOHN T. DUNCAN was born in TN May 7, 1831. His father, Alfred G., and his mother, Elinor, daughter of John Duncan, were cousins, and natives of TN. After their marriage they immigrated to MO, where John was reared upon a farm and lived with his parents until his marriage. In 1856 he mar. Harriet, dau. of Charles Wakefield, by whom 4 ch. were born: Mary E., Alfred G. (decd), Charles A. and Harriet E. (decd).
