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.436-9: JOHN F. STEPHENS. Throughout Washington County ... Ashley Township. Born in East Tennessee in 1823, our subject is the sixth in order of birth among the children of David and Lurana (Duncan) Stephens. Concerning his lineage little is known. It is thought that the Duncans are of PA origin, but the descent of the Stephens family cannot be traced. ... Orphaned by his mother's death when he was only five years of age, his (John F. Stephens') early years were spent in a hard struggle for the necessities of existence. ... Working in the employ of various farmers in youth, Mr. Stephens at the age of 21 commenced to till the soil for himself. The year 1849 witnessed his advent into Illinois, and he then settled in Washington County near his present farm. In 1852 he moved to this place and here he has since resided, ... In 1844 Mr. Stephens was united in marriage with Miss Levina, dau. of Jesse and Margaret (Blair) Ray. ... (MAD: from Washington Co. TN)
