After the war your ancestor lived in Tennessee and in Oklahoma, and I checked to see if your ancestor applied to the state of Tennessee for a pension and he did not apply. Mr. Sanders checked the state of Oklahoma and he did not apply. His wife did not apply.

Application for a pension was made in the state where the veteran or widow lived, no matter which state he served from.

Your ancestor appears on the following census records:

1850 Tippah County, Mississippi (listed as William O. Barger, age 21)
1860 Tippah County, Mississippi (listed as W. O. Barger, age 31)
1870 Henderson County, Tennessee (listed as William O. Barger, age 41)
1880 Henderson County, Tennessee (listed as Wm. O. Barger, age 51)
1900 Weakley County, Tennessee (listed as W. O. Barger, age 71)
1910 Muskogee County, Oklahoma (listed as William O. Barger, age 82)
