Thanks you for all your work. I guess I really don't have a log with families together. I have had no genealogy training but I can see the value of this type of organization. I hadn't seen the records but I am aware of his service.

Sandy,
I am glad that you could confirm that Ancil was born in Ohio County, Ky, as I thought. Interesting that there was a description of him. That really brought him to life for me.

Gene,
I am sorry that I mis-spoke. In family search one post about Ancil stated he was born in Ohio. Someone on genforum suggested that he might have been born in Ohio County Illinois. It evolved into Kentucky. I knew what I meant but I didn't say it right,

No, I have never worked with pension files.

The State of Kansas did not have death records until 1911 and the death records aren't online for 1904 yet. I do intend to go to Emporia as soon as I can to check out the records there. I guess that is on my to do list. I forgot to say on one of my earlier posts that I am familiar with The Brant-Overlin Saga as I have a copy. Thanks, again.

Yes, I have read the book and I have a copy but doesn't seem to help me in my quest for Ancil's parents

I will have to check to see where there is a family history center.
