I have not been able to get confirmation of that. Can you check in with the people there and see if you can find a Death Certificate? Obviously, I will cover your expenses. PLEZZ!!!

If this is a real thing I'd be happy to check on it when I get a chance, though I'm no researcher and I have absolutely no idea where to go or who to ask about such a thing.

Jonathan: I am very serious. I found his wife's application for a pension, and it gave his death at Raleigh. I have been told that in that era the death records were kept at the County level. So, I suggest that the Clerk of the Courts would be a starting point, and he would guide you beyond that. Just finding that bit of info was a Major break through in my effort to find Sarah. Please try.

Yeah, I'd be happy to give it a shot. Can't make any promises about how long it might take though, to say I'm a novice at this kind of thing is to give me far too much credit.
