I pulled this pension file (Civil War) from the National Archives in Washington D.C. while trying to do some research on the Holliday family from Mason Co, KY.

These are just some very brief notes I scratched down from the file...you will want to view or order the complete file to get more details.

John Holliday
14 KY Vol Cav
Private
Widow: Arry Holliday
Certificate # 470015
Enlisted: 11 Dec 1862
Discharged: 24 Mar 1864

John married Arry Begley 11 Jan 1866 at the house of Hiram Begley in Perry Co, KY (now Leslie Co, KY). He died at home on 12 Apr 1893 (Perry Co, KY).

Children listed from Bible Record noted in pension file:

Just a few of the people giving statements/affidavits in file are (not a complete list):

Hopefully this will help someone on this board.
