The widow's application my g-g-grandmother, Irene Freeman Wilcox, made, listing her 13 Feb 1848 (appears to be 1828) marriage in Depotsville (should be Depauville), New York, to Nathan W. Wilcox, future Captain of Company K, Engineering Regiment of the West. This document got me their marriage record, identification of her maiden name, and additional information about where they lived. A treasure, to say the least.

It is a treasure. I see your gg grandparents lived in Nashville. I missed out giving the town a good visit years back....very disappointing to say the least. I hope to get back there again.
ReplyDeleteI love Widow Pension records. So much can be found there.
