Fold3 subscription?

[Mark F. Jenkins]

Anyone with a Fold3 subscription willing to run a look-up for me? I was thinking I should look for Great-Great-Grandpa's records (if any)... I used my trial subscription time looking up Henry Walke stuff.

State, full name, county of residence, anything else you know?

Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, of Wood County, Ohio (or possibly adjoining Lucas County); enlisted in 14th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (in its 3-years incarnation, not its original 90-day formation) in August 1861, and assigned to company "I". His name is sometimes given as Benj. F. and B. F., and although "Waggoner" is the correct spelling, I have seen it frequently misspelled "Wagoner" and "Wagner" (not too surprisingly). He did not reenlist after his three-year term was up.

Born 29 Nov 1841 in either Ohio or Pennsylvania (sources conflict); died 4 May 1921 in Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio. He married Mary M. Hartsell, who outlived him by about a year.

Unfortunately you're not going to get much from fold3 in Ohio, just index cards. There are two Benjamin F Waggoners, one is obviously your guy and the other may be him in a different unit or another man. Several of the people I've researched from Ohio served with more than one unit, so consider the possibility that both might be him.

Pension index. I think you can find applications elsewhere online - maybe familysearch?

Thank you. Darn, was wishing there was more material than that. The Henry Walke file went on for pages and pages...

I'm assuming you are aware of this, but in case not your ancestor is listed in this History written on the unit. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Oh yes, and I have a copy of that unit history (such as it is) already. Thanks!
