Selma: He enlists in 1864? He is said to be 22..if my memory is right
HistoryBuff: I'm good thanks. How are you all?
klassicglass: your memory is right
Selma: Hi history buff Where did you find the info re: 1854 marriage
klassicglass: on a paper that was in his pension package
Seventies: wait a minute, he was 12 when he married in MS? or was he married in 1864? Confused hre
klassicglass: it must be an error cause the paper say 1854
Selma: When you follow him through the census...does he age consistently?
klassicglass: no
Selma: I suspect he married in 1864..at that point he is technically still enslaved... I saw the word slave written on the next to last image
klassicglass: I have about 50 papers I can't even read
Selma: Is this his pension record?
Seventies: This is from his service record or pension file?
klassicglass: yes,
Seventies: Okay, is the pension all that you have on him?
klassicglass: pension file yes
Seventies: What about his service record?
Selma: Is there a contraband camp in Lake Washington?
klassicglass: I have a couple enlistment papers. I don't know about the contraband camp
Selma: Does the Union Army come thru Lake Washington?
Seventies: Just keep in mind, that there are military papers all over the place for the USCTs, including the Freedman's Bureau records.
klassicglass: I did research the freedman's bureau and didn't find anything what is the non-population schedule?
