In this context, Ron Saus writes
When I came across the Carlin site, I did look
at his military and pension records but
did not see any genelogical data. He did ive in Ohio after the war. Since he was getting
a pension for himself, there was no mention of his wife or family. I will look it up more
carefully when I get
some free time.

Ron subsequently wrote to me as follows:
Hi Fred:
I looked again at James Carlin's military and
pension file and can tell you
only the following information:
James Carlin lived after the war in Cleves,
Hamilton County, Ohio and died June 18, 1900
in this village. He was 33 years of age at the
time of his enlistment in July of 1862.
There is no memtion of a family in the pension records or affidavits of witnesses to his
disablilities, in spite of the information that
many of them had know James Carlin from ten to
thirty years. I am sorry that I can't be of
further help.
I would be interested in any information that
your network may find on him concerning his re and post war career. - Best regards, Ron
Saus
