I discovered an 1871 Census Record that had my ancestors Mother’s name on it, listed was a man and a woman who I have always thought the woman was the sister of my Ancestor.
I ordered her husbands Pension Record from the Civil War. In the records it says that her family’s name is Ford, which is a possible confirmation that she is the sister of my ancestor even though it does not say that they are sisters.
As my Ancestor her possible sister left Mississippi in 1883 and the Pension record was from 1891.
My Ancestor also had a daughter by the name of America. So I assume that this America that was living with her mother Peggy was in fact her sister.
I obtained a lot of information from the Pension Record. The records actually came pretty fast.
The price was very reasonable.
I will use their services in the future if I need any more records pertaining to my family.
