AS a continuation of discussions on the "Can you name your Great Grandparents" thread.
(Pat or any other Admin may feel free to move my posts on the Pullum connection from the grandparents thread to this thread, if you think those posts belong here.)
As a followup to Pat's post on 12/24/2010 regarding James Pullum:
I found a pension application for James Pullum in the Ancestry.com Civil War data base.
Application #593054
Certificate #435138
Next time I get to the National Archive I can look at the file. I have found Civil War Pension files to be a very good source of background material on the claimant. Perhaps the file will indicate the relationship between james Pullum and Lucian Sliger.
Since there is a certificate #, James Pullum must have received a Civil War pension.
Hopefully more info will be found and this doesn't become an orphan thread
