I am looking at the files for Ephraim Crandall. The owner of the plantation (Mary L. Wharton) filed a claim for Rosetta Crandall a widow of late private in CO B 35th Reg't U.S.I. Ephraim was a former slave and they had been loyal to Wharton and her family. Her husband died from small pox while in service. She is old and unfit to take care of her children.

In the second document it mention that Ephraim wants aid from the government and her kids and their date of birth are mentioned.

The following are the names dates of birth and place of residence of all the children of her deceased husband who were under sixteen years of age at the time of his death

Cicero born 23rd Aug. 1845
Bettie born 14th Sept. 1847
Simon born 19th Aug. 1852
King born 20th Sept. 1855

The third article is requesting official evidence of Ephraim enrollment, muster, service, duty and cause of death. Additionally, it states to provide any record of any man with similar names.
