My ggfather died in Ark Jan 14th, 1872 of wounds he contracted in the Battle of Duvall's Bluff.
He was in the 54th Il inf, co H, and became a resident of Pulaski co after his discharge in late 1864.
He married Louisa Jane Pettit. They lived in Ward 4 and had my grandmother and another daughter alice.
Louisa died in 1870 of pneumonia, John A P died in 1872(above)

I have had correspondence with Russell Baker of Ark Historical Soc. He wants $140 for my gpa's probate and my grandmothers guardianship papers and where John and Louisa are buried.

Could anyone help for less money.
Thank you
