Dennis:
Earlier this week we received Richard Quinn's military records from St. Louis; what a treasure of information.Two items of note: his Surgeon's Certificate was for an inquinal hernia (one document says that he incurred the injury "while playing in camp" and the the other states " he fell in a ditch while attacking Confederate positions at Petersburg".We have a copy of his pension record from the US War Pension Department that states Richard was Honorably Discharged.
I spoke with the VA Officer in Montour County and he indicated he would charge his team members to look for Richard's gravestone when flags are placed on markers on Memorial Day.No one else at the county offices has any record of where he is buried.His son, William Henry Quinn, stayed in Danville following Richard's death and we continue to assume Richard is buried there.Interestingly, his estate was valued at $20.05 at his death, the document signed by his son William Henry and the court representative.
Pat and I have also obtained a copy of the ship passenger list showing Richard arriving from Wales when he was 16.
