Richard R. Montgomery

[SSlater]

I found a rare Web site on my Computer, that may interest you. It's called the "U.S. Register of Civil, Military & Naval Service 1863 - 1959". It lists every government employee hired during that time frame. It lists the name of every man that served on a particular ship. It lists every ship etc. etc. It lists every Post Master, every Judge. Every anybodies,
Of interest to me, I found the spy Richard Montgomery, working for the War Department, in Washington, born New York, Hired from New York, for $1200 a year. It does not identify him as a spy, but I knew that before I looked for him.
Edwin Stanton made $8000 a year.
What a weird site! (852 pages of fine print.) Every State, Every County, every city.
