I just received my great-great grandfather David Sampson Seals civil war pension file from the National Archives. Lots of information - its got his physical description, marriage record to Mary Elizabeth Letcher in Metcalf County, Kentucky, his claim form as Ex-Soldier's Pension Claim, his Declaration For Invalid Pension, paper work from different attorney's he used, affidavit's from people who knew him. Information about the guardian of his daughter Birdie May Seals. A copy of Declaration for Widow's Pension form his wife filed and that she had died. His daughter's pension form as a minor child. Lots of information about where they lived. I see that David Sampson Seals daughter Birdie May Seals married a Thomas C Welch that interesting because I thought his name was Tellus Welch. I think his fathers name was Thomas C Welch. A mystery.
