I looked over your Dugan challenge, and wondered if you are seeking his parents, or some clarification about his service record?
As to the latter ... I'd favor the sworn widows pension all day long. The database, American Civil War Soldiers has information that is consistent with your records. I didn't see him on a pension card until I realized the surname spelling difference. Appears there are two dates for applications. 1865 and 1873.
Thanks again for converting your comment to a discussion.
One of us should now delete your comment ( August 10, 2009 at 9:06pm) from the wall on Most Wanted, so that we don't have a duplicate going.
When you get home tonight, let me know if you want me to do the deletion.
Thanks again for supporting Most Wanted. --GJ
Thank you! I see that you, too, have seen the 1900 census with possible sister, Mollie. And wow ... I'm so glad you have the death certificate ... makes all the difference. After you have a chance to look at the 1880 census I posted, I'll comment a little more.
Thanks again --GJ
Thank you for supporting the group, Most Wanted!
You wrote, “Trying to locate parents of Finest Estell Walker, born 1 August 1880 somewhere in Tennesse. Married Carrie Calline Hamilton in Jack Co., TX on 21 Oct 1900. and died on 22 April 1964 in Wichita Falls, Wichita Co, TX. Finest and Carrie had the following Children: Odas, Otis, Ira, Arry, Eva, Doc Harvey, Flossie and two unknown babies... I can't locate his parents anywhere and I can't go foward with this tree at all.... Worked on it for past year almost....”
You might have more success if your challenge was posted as a Most Wanted threaded discussion topic (click HERE), rather than on the comment wall. Aside from the benefit of threading responses, Most Wanted discussion topics can be broadcast via RSS feed, so they have a better chance of reaching members who opt out of e-mail notification.
I see that Kate has responded to your personal page, as below. I’m sure she’ll also thread her response to you discussion topic if you opt to make the switch.
I found Finest's WW1 draft registration on Ancestry.com. It has his birthdate as August 1, 1883.
I also found Carrie and Estell T(could be F) in Clay County, Texas in 1910. Estell's parents were from Alabama.
If you'd like to add a discussion on Most Wanted, with the information/records you currently have, that would be great!...
I’m working on your posting now. Texas has good base of record groups; I’m confident we can identify some clues that should help you break down that brick wall.
Will wait to respond in the hope you’ll convert to a discussion topic. Thank you again for supporting Most Wanted. --GJ
