"Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of Indiana" cases decided at November term 1864 and certain cases decided at May term 1865; by Benjamin Harrison; Indiana Reports, Vol.23, pgs.447 to 448 (California State Law Library, Sacramento, 2/2004)
DUNKIN v. McKEE; Supreme Court of Indiana; 23 Ind. 447; November Term, 1864, Decided.
APPEAL from the Putnam Common Pleas.
[opinion] Elliott, J. -- Nancy Dunkin, the appellant, sued McKee, the appellee, to recover the possession of personal property. McKee answered: 1. General denial. 2. Property in himself. 3. Property in David Dunkin, husband of plaintiff. 4. Justifying the taking and detention, as sheriff of Putnam county, by virtue of an execution in his hands in favor of William S. Collier, and against David Dunkin, and averring it to be the property of said David.
Replication in denial. Trial by the court, by agreement. Finding, as to part of the property, that "it is the property of the defendant, and is of the value of $1,560; and that the defendant have a return of the same." Motion for new trial overruled, and judgment.
The only point presented here is as to the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the finding of the court. The real question in litigation on the trial below was, whether the property was the separate property of Nancy Dunkin, or whether it belonged to David Dunkin, her husband, and therefore subject to the execution in favor of Collier. McKee, in truth, claimed no other right to it than that derived through the levy of the execution; and the appellant insists that such special property did not support the finding of property in McKee. There is nothing in the objection. The levy of an execution gives to the officer, while the execution remains in his hands, such a special property in the goods levied upon as will enable him to maintain replevin for them. It follows that he may also, for the same reason, defend the possession against one not the owner. Besides, the execution and levy were in evidence, and the finding of the court must be presumed, under the evidence, to have reference to such special property, as sheriff.
It is urged that, under the law arising upon the facts in evidence, the property, and especially the corn in the field, belonged to the plaintiff, and was not subject to the execution against her husband. The evidence is in the record, and we have carefully examined it, and do not deem it necessary to discuss the question of law as to the separate property of the wife. There seems to have been such a confusion of goods, and the whole case, in all its circumstances, presents so uncomely an aspect, and wears a face so beclouded with the footprints of fraud, as to forbid that we should disturb the finding of the court.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.

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.
