An affidavit in a Civil War pension file was made by two men with the same last name. No relationship was stated, but I concluded two things immediately: the two men were somehow related the men lived near each other After all, it was a joint affidavit signed by both of them. They even lived in the same state. Turns out that they lived 300 miles from each other. Thanks to my Casefile Clues proofreader for catching my rather glaring error. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
