I have three men I am researching who were in Co. G. First R.I. Cavalry. Looking at Fold3 for the Pension Index, I find the R.I. Cavalry almost wholly missing! The 1st R.I. has cards only for Co. A (2 men) and Co. C (1 man). There are 3 cards that are incomplete or illegible. And one card for Field and Staff (Maj Sullivan Ballou, whose name you might recognize -- his widow's Nov. 1861 pension application was No.27, certificate No.25!)
Now, I'm quite sure these fellows didn't all voluntarily forgo their pensions. Is it just the index cards that are missing? or the files themselves?
I shall be querying the NA about this.
jno
