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.

Duncan, Blanton. Pardoned Oct. 12, 1866. 10b Rue de Vaupirard?, Paris, August 7, 1865. Blanton Duncan, petition, that action was taken against me in 1863 under the act of Congress in the District Court of KY, property seized but as yet no decree of sale has been rendered, if such proceedings should be dismissed my application would come under the 13th exception as I would have more than $20,000 of property. I was commissioned as a Colonel in the Southern Army, resigned my position on the 19th July 1861 since which period I have held no office whatsoever under the Confederate Government, though in 1863 for about a month served as a volunteer aid without any commission on the staff of my friend Genl. Whitling? at Wilmington N.C. From January 1862 to January 1863 I had a contract for printing with A.G. Menninger? & still continued to print from day to day only until his governmental establishment went into full operation on 1 April 1863, since which period I have had no connection with the Richmond officials. On the 6th May 1864 I left Wilmington N.C. with the avowed purpose of writing to several persons of remaining in Europe during the continuation of the war & since that period have lived quietly as a private individual. But for my severe illness in the summer of 1863, from which I did not recover for many months, I should have left the South in that year. I requested permission for my family to go North thence to Europe in November 1863, which Mr. Lincoln granted ... (Roll 25, Kentucky, Ad-Hu name, FHL film 1,758,763) (MAD: see Jefferson Co. KY)

"The Democrat" Olean, Cattaraugus Co., N.Y., Thursday, December 30, 1880 (transcription by and from Kathy Cawley 1/2004)
If slavery is dead, one of its relics still lives in the law courts. Col. Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky, has brought suit against Gen. Thomas R. Sharp. The latter was left in charge of Col. Duncan's plantation in 1864, and sold some negro slaves for $6,000, which amount he has never paid over. He now refuses to pay on the ground that all the negroes had been freed by President Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation, which took effect Jan. 1, 1863, and that therefore Col. Duncan has no property rights in them.
The early land surveys and Certificate Book of the VA Land Commission 1779-1780 have been abstracted and published. Many other early records of Jefferson Co. KY have been published.
