Classification: Query
Surnames: HALLECK, EVERETT
I'm looking for information on a William C. HALLECK who was a sergeant in Co D, 5th MI Calvary during the Civil War.
He is supposed to have died on the General Lyon in 1865, but filed for a pension in 1890 in NY. Since I have an ancestor that did the same thing I'm checking on other victim/survivors.
Either my ancestor, Lawrence Everett, returned from the dead after being missing for 25 years, or there was pension fraud involved. If I can find someone else who was miraculously raised to receive a pension I'll feel better about assuming that mine really did die in 1865.
