G2G: anyone have info on Greenberry Grimes of Fayette Co.,Pa, born 1818?

Question

Greenberry born 1818 died July 24,1862, Harrisons Landing, VA during Civil War, married Mary Downs, lived in Fayette Co., PA...........cannot locate his parents, but have info on hers...............he must be connected someway with Darius Grimes, and his father Reason Grimes, but not sure how

Answer 1

I found Greeenberry Grimes on Fold3.com. He enlisted in company I of the 85th Pennsylvania. Died in July of 1862,  and his wife Mary applied for a widow's pension. There is a 30+ page file that might provide you with the connection. If you would like me to print it off and email it to you, I will be happy to do so.

 

There is an Ellen Grimes who filed an affidavit on behalf of Mary. And Ellen is the wife of Greenberry's brother (does not list his name)

 

Let me know if this is of any use to you!
