25th Virginia Cavalry
My g.g.g. grandfather Nathaniel Johnson's widow, Mary Johnson, applied for a veteran's pension, claiming he had fought with the 25th and 27th, B Company, under a Capt. "Pat. Larmer." This was verified by two comrades: G.V. Young and Levi Music. He seems to have moved from Hancock County to Lee at some point to become a farmer, according to census records. His surname may be spelled Janson or Johnston, alternatively. Can anyone confirm that any of three men served in the 25th? If no one can, how is the best way for me to verify the information?
