MILITARY RECORDS

Pension Index Card File, alphabetical; of the Veterans Administrative Contact and Administration Services, Admin. Operations Services, 1861-1934; Duff to A-J Duncan (negative film 540,888, some cards very faint); Joseph Duncan to Dunn (positive 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.906-907; Black Creek Twp: LEVIN DUNCAN (Farmer, Post-office, Shelbyville). At the age of 18 Mr. Duncan started out for himself, ...

Between his first settlement in Shelby county and the year 1842, he made two trips to the South, but made this his permanent home. For over 40 years past he has been engaged .... On the 2d of March, 1842, he was married to Miss Irene Coard, a daughter of William Coard, formerly of Maryland, mention of whom is made in a sketch of his son, William T., which precedes this. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan have been blessed with a family of nine children, .... Mr. Duncan himself is a native of Maryland, born in Worcester county, July 31, 1814, and was a son of Milby and Sarah (White) Duncan.
