Looking for Charles L. Vreeland of NY

Classification: Query
Surnames: Day,Vreeland
I have a wedding certificate from 1867 showing a Charles L Vreeland marrying Abbie Day. The witnesses are Abbie's parents. I also have a pension certificate showing Charles L. Vreeland as having served in the civil war in Co B 185th Reg NY infantry. The civil war Db shows him as surviving his service.

They had at least 2 children.
1 Charles Day Vreeland, 1868-1872
2 David Sexton Vreeland, 1869-1930's, changed his name back to Day from Vreeland prior to 1900 census
3 Harold Charles Day, abt 1891-unk (not sure about this child)

The civil war roster lists his DOB as abt 1843 but doesn't indicate where or who his parents are. The Bureau of Pensions certificate that I have says this:

"Abbie M. Vreeland widow of Charles L. Vreeland, known as Charles H. Lee who was in Co B 185th Reg NY Infantry"

I don't know why it shows him with two names but this is something I'm looking into in the next few days.

I have no other information on Charles Vreeland or his family. I am hoping someone out there can offer some assistance with this.

Thank you,
Richard Day
