Wilson, acting as surveyor, and Thomas Foster and Thompson Jones superintending the chain carriers, first surveyed the tract of land to ascertain the true number of acres therein, it is all in one tract situate in Montgomery Co. KY on the waters of Grassy Lick and Hinkston Creeks, represented by the annexed plat and is bounded as follows: Beg. at a honey locust corner to Preston Stith's original corner ... corner to Dale's heirs in John Sinathy?'s line, ... crossing Hinkston, ... Grassy Creek opposite a large sycamore on the northern bank, ... corner to Dales heirs and Hugh Ligate, ... up Grassy lick Creek, ... to Legate and Preston's corner ..., including 85 acres and one rood of land. The next thing we did was to examine the quality of the land and divide it amongst the widow and heirs, giving the widow one third and dividing the remaining two thirds amongst the heirs as equally as we in our best judgement could. The dower and different lots appear on the annexed plat ... For the widow's dower (name not given) of Travis Duncan deceased we laid off and assigned 28 acres 1 rod 26 ?? of land including the dwelling house and other buildings adj. Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4.

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.
