When I posted my request for John Boslough and Matilda Utterback I was under
a misconception as to spelling and names. Boslough is actually spelled
Bouslaugh and Boslough, and his wife was Mary not Matilda. Matilda was his
daughter.
I want to thank everyone for all the help they have shown me in this
request. Now I have a few new generations to add to my grand daughter's
family tree!

I have been using Heritage Quest for several months and as Jan, find it
easier and faster to use than Ancestry--by far. Being a taxpayer in St.
Louis County, MO and having a Library card, get Heritage free and am able

I have a gggrandfather who enlisted in Iowa in what was called the
"Greybeard Regiment" because they were all "old" men. Mine was

Hi,
Is there any possibility that it could be Montgomery County, Indiana and not
Iowa? If the abbreviation IA was used in the source document, in this time
period that most likely referred to Indiana.

Judy,
My great great grandfather enlisted at the age of 50. I found his
information at ancestry.com. He was in the Civil War Pension Index, as well
as the American Civil War Soldiers.
I have copies of his records from the National Archives, but still don't
really know why he would have enlisted at age 50.
