Thank you for the information. I am waiting to hear from NARA whether or not they have info on his Land Entry File. NY State sent me the original information but it stated that it was a US Grant, first for 40 acres and then for 120 acers. One thing interesting about his paperwork. He did not file for the Land until the later part of the 1800's, I believe around 1858 or so.I was not aware that a fire destroyed these records as well. I know about the 1890 census but I thought that was all!I did not send for his pension records because his name does not appear in Virgil White's books.I did not know if you had a different source or not.Thanks again!
