Dear Sirs: I wonder if I could have a copy of a pension given to a Private Soldier by the name of Thomas McIntosh who was I believe living in 1840 in Trimble Co. Ky - at the age of 83 I think at that time.
I am trying to find if he was related to Charles McIntosh who coming from Scotland settled in Posey Co. Ind.

Charles was living in 1830 according to the census
Any information you can give me will be thankfully received.
Charles was my Great Grandfather -
