George Duryee Civil War pension file
Does anyone have a copy of the widow's pension for George Duryee of Hillsdale MI?We need it for a DAR application as it supposedly contains a statement by the widow (Julia Howell Duryee) that names her father in law, William Duryee, as a witness to her wedding.This fact is mentioned in a Howell family genealogy book, but alas, lacks a citation.We are lacking documentary proof of that father/son relationship, the last thing needed for a DAR application.We would be much obliged if someone has a copy they would share for the cost of expenses.
Also, if anyone knows of a family Bible or anything else that would prove the relationship, please answer!This George Duryee died in the Civil War in Nashville TN in May 1865 so he predeceased his father.William, the father, died in Hillsdale County, MI in 1871.
With thanks,
Dana Anderson
