Darlene,
I would like to add this to what Mr. Coffee gave you.
Your George W. Forester name is spelled as Forrest and Forrester and not Forester on his records. Also I checked to see if I could find him listed as having a Texas Pension. I found that he applied for a pension as George W. Forrester in Caldwell County Texas but was rejected.
Also, I saw a Henry C. Forrester also spelled Forrest Private/Sergent Co. F 18th Texas Cavalry...he must be family. I did not see any Texas pension for Henry.
You can order copies of records here at this site if you wish.
I hope this helps you,
Gary D. Bray
