Pension Notes:
Wife of soldier is Jemima “Mima” “Mina” Stone. Maiden name Murray. Mother of soldier was Maria Stone. Both soldier’s wife and mother applied for a pension. Mother was unaware of soldier’s wife. This discrepancy caused an investigation. This investigator learned that soldier was hired out by his enslaver to another enslaver near the farm where soldier’s wife was enslaved. Per wife’s enslaver the soldier’s enslaver did not give consent for soldier to marry because the soldier and the soldier’s wife lived 10-12 miles away from each other. Soldier’s enslaver denied he was ever asked if soldier could marry and he further stated that he heard that the soldier had had a child and soldier denied it and the enslaver “kept him home” for a year. Soldier’s enslaver stated that he took the soldier by buggy to his enlistment place and the soldier never mentioned he was married. Witness from soldier’s home farm enslaved and enslavers said he wasn’t married. Witness from wife’s home farm enslaver and enslaved all stated that soldier resided with the wife regularly and that they did marry and had 2 children. Investigator concluded that the soldier’s enslaver and family “were unaware of his doings”
