  • Notes 
    • The ages of Martha in pension document don’t quite match with her being wife of this William R. West. But she did marry a William West. Is this the one?

      Martha signed Pension Application with her (x) and it was witnessed by Wm. Becker, Francis Keath (?) and Lewis C. Cromer. The affidavit says she “has been true and loyal to the Constitution of the US and not taken up arms or aided or abetted in the present rebellion.” Sworn in Union, MO before M.L.G. Crowe, Clerk.

      Other witnesses for Martha and William were Robert Johnson and Robert B. Armisted, both of Franklin Co. (both signed their own names).

      Martha had an attorney, William S. Field, handle her pension claim in St. Louis. Pension was admitted on 29 Sept 1864--$8 a month starting Feb 13, 1862.
