Summary: Pensioner’s were George’s children, Maria & Willis Beeler, who lived in Jefferson County, Kentucky, at the time of filing. George served in the 107 USCI, Co. I and died in Chester, Virginia during February of 1865 from Chronic Diarrhea. George only had two children altogether; Mariah Beeler (1855) & Willis Beeler (1857). Pension says that the children are orphans and the legal gaurdian is "Charles Carter." In the "Claim of gaurdian of orphan children for pension", it says that the mother is Lydia and she remarried. George was born in Tennessee but was enlisted in Louisville. Dan notes that his enslaver's name appears to be Ackerson Beeler, or something similar. The name is written in the lower left hand corner of the enlistment form, where enslavers usually sign when the soldier is enlisting with their enslaver's blessing.
