I have cited a lot of military pensions for soldiers, widows, and minors. However, this pension contained the widow's application under two different soldiers. The first died during the Civil War and she applied as his widow in 1865. She quickly remarried, and her second husband, also a Union veteran, applied for a pension on his own behalf, as an invalid. The second husband died in 1886 and the widow applied as his widow. She married a third time and applied on behalf of her minor child from the second marriage.
