Winnie pension records

Posted by Jeanette on Friday, 13 March, 2009

I was finally able to scan in the Civil War pension records that I bought for Lewis Winnie and his son James Newton Winnie:

Pages 1-12 of the Pension Record for James N. Winnie
Pages 13-41 of the Pension Record of James N. Winnie
Pension Record of Lewis Winnie
Pension Record of Jeremiah Raner

They both enlisted in the 86th New York Infantry Company B out of Jasper, Steuben County, NY. James died from disease shortly after enlisting, and Lewis was discharged in December 1862 due to illness. James was the Winnie’s eldest child, and was 17 at the time of his enlistment.

One of the pensions (or maybe both of them), but I don’t remember which, gives the information that Lewis’ wife Eunice’s maiden name was Raner.

After leaving New York, they lived in both Cumberland and Rhea counties, Tennessee.
