McA/Ininch Military Veterans in General Index to Pension Files 1861-1934 (NARA T288)

 

The U.S. National Archives (NARA, National Archives and Records Administration) has the military pension file records for (at least) twenty-nine (29) McAninch and five (5) McIninch military veterans, including veterans of Union forces in the Civil War, 1861-1865 [see General Source Notes 1, 2, 3, 4].

 

Most of these names were extracted from General Index T288 by Lorna Gilbert, in Houston [Note 2]. Lorna has been researching two brothers, George and Peter McAninch, originally from Armstrong Co., Pennsylvania, and found in Iron County, Missouri, in the 1860 census [MFHN V-3 (Aug.) p.1997-23]. They both served in Iowa infantry units in the Civil War, and then went to Hawarden, Sioux Co., Iowa.

 

This list, and the NARA T288 microfilm, are just an Index; copies of specific files can be ordered from the National Archives, by Certificate Number, on NATF form 80, http://www.nara.gov/research
