NOTES - Dad adds: 
"I know he applied for a Civil War pension and it was $12 a month. After he died 
his widow applied for a pension based on her husband's civil war service and she 
got $9 a month. I saw these records at the National Archives in Washington DC. 
Those records also told about his first wife in Connecticut who filed for 
divorce after he left her and he moved to Illinois. His name in the census in 
Illinois was wrongly spelled as Webster A. Cassel. I knew it was him by his 
wife’s name of Amanda in the census."



Dad also says there is a story that Webster was so poor that he could not afford the correct clothing and 
got sick and was excused from service after a time. He does not know for sure if 
this is true.




There's more information about Webster's regiment. Type in his name at:
