T his is just the tree info for my great grandfather some of the thoughts and stories and life events will soon follow.  A titbit concerning his name, he was named Edwin. Most documents refer to him as Edward or Ed, but an affidavit he submitted in support of his mother's request for approval of a civil war pension he stated his name was actually EDWIN. He seemed to work primarily as a butcher/meat cutter.

Ed as a young man.
