MILITARY RECORDS
Pension Index Card File, alphabetical; of the Veterans Administrative Contact and Administration Services, Admin. Operations Services, 1861-1934; Duff to A-J Duncan (negative FHL film 540,888, some cards very faint); Joseph Duncan to Dunn (positive FHL film 540,889, some cards very dark)
Cataloged under Civil War, 1861-1865, pensions, indexes; does not say if Confederate or Federal, but probably Federal. Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application. Most of the very faint or dark cards were in a slightly different format, with space for years enlisted and discharged which were sometimes filled in. Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.
Name of soldier, alias, name of dependent widow or minor, service (military unit or units), date of filing, class (invalid or widow or minor or other), Application #, Certificate #, state from which filed (sometimes blank), attorney (sometimes blank, MAD: did not usually copy), remarks. Sometimes the "Invalid" or "Widow" class had an "s" added to it before the application #; occasionally the area for the service information included a circled "S". The minor's name was frequently that of the guardian rather than the minor.
The military unit was frequently the Company Letter, the Regiment Number, sometimes US Vet Vol Inf. (US Veteran Volunteer Infantry), L.A. (Light Artillery), H.A. (Heavy Artillery), US C Inf (US Colored? Infantry), Cav. (Cavalry), Mil. Guards, V.R.C. (?Volunteer Reserve Corps?), etc. Sometimes there were several service units given.
Cards appear to be arranged by the last name, first name, middle initial if any, and state (including "US") of service.

HISTORIES before 1923
1902 "Centennial Biographical History of Crawford Co. OH" by Lewis Pub. (FHL book 977.127 D3c)
Pg.188-190: Arthur M. Duncan, M.D. ... of Bucyrus, native of Crawford Co., born in Texas Twp. Jan. 18, 1850, traces his ancestry back to colonial epoch in history of the country, and thence back to Scotland ... The best information attainable seems to establish beyond reasonable doubt the fact that three Duncan brothers, coming from Scotland about 1722, settled in Cumberland Co. PA, and became the progenitors of the family in America. They were descendants of the Rev. William Duncan, a martyr in the Covenanter persecution in Scotland. Andrew Duncan, the grandfather of our subject, was born in Lancaster Co. PA March 12, 1750, and died in 1828 in York Co., that state. Under George III, he was appointed justice of the peace. When the colonies had achieved their independence from the British crown he was reappointed by the federal government and served in that capacity for more than half a century. Presbyterian church, and from 1770 to death was elder of Round Hill Presbyterian Church in York Co. PA.
Washington Duncan, father of the doctor, born York Co. PA 1810; when young man left native state; to Crawford Co. 1833 with mother and sister Ann Elizabeth who afterward married Arthur Andrews, prominent pioneer and citizen of Crawford Co.

OH, died there near Melmore in 1854, his wife was Jeanette Coe, a dau. of Moses Coe, a soldier of Rev. War & desc. of Robert Coe born Suffolk Eng. ca 1590, to Ipswich, England 1634, finally settled in Jamaica, NY. His father died in Bucyrus, in 1888, and the mother in 1890 (MAD: ?? may refer to Washington Duncan and wife Eliza's deaths).
