Doyle:
Ok, Anderson's Bible says that Benton died 09-18-1862 at Sulphur Springs. You say that Sept. 1862, the 19th left & went to Ark post. Wouldn't Benton have been mustered in sometime btwn June-Sept 1862? Is there a possibility that he became ill before being mustered in? Depending upon the date in Sept., Benton may have died before the 19th left Sulphur Springs. Why would his records have been left with the hospital? Here's another question, Milley, the wife of Anderson filed for a widow's pension. Anderson died in 1871. I understand that some mother's filed on their sons who died. Were they allowed to file for a pension on a son and a husband? If that is a possibility, Milley may have filed regarding Benton as well bc he was unmarried.
