Hi Keith,

I have a General Affidavit that Charles E. Erisman signed regarding the Civil
War pension application of Catherine Ehrisman, wife of James B. Ehrisman.
Find it at the end of this e-mail. I am researching Ehrismans, but know
nothing of your Charles other then he was a cousin to James, I think! Did
your Charles fight in the Civil War? I am going to the National Archives on
Friday, Sept 29th, I can look him up for you. Have you gotten in touch with
Oliver Smith? He has done an incredible amount of Erisman research. His
e-mail address is <Smithoj@apci.com>. He should be able to help you.

Regards,

Donna
