Notes
|
Legal documents proving Philander's service in the Civil War; his death in that War in Louisiana, his marriage to Adeline Pomeroy, his fatherhood of his children, and finally Adeline's death in 1902 to end pension payments. 44 pages; about 12-15 are letters with family information, all signed and witnessed.
They also establish that Flora R. Davis was still living in 1867; she did not die in 1857 as supposed ( the 1860 Federal and 1865 NY State census also corroborates the fact that Flora was still alive in 1865). |
