Looking for any information about the parents of the William James Carver listed in the
following...
The records of the War Department in the National Archives indicate that Pvt. William J.
Carver enlisted on May 25th, 1905, at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was assigned to Troop
K, 3d Regiment United States Calvary. He was transferred to Troop B of the same regiment
on November 13th, 1905, and was stationed with it at Fort Assinniboine, Montana, until
February 5th, 1906. When Private Carver enlisted, he stated that he was born on January
12th, 1883, at Pittsburgh, and was a resident of San Angelo, Texas. He also stated that
both parents (names not shown) were deceased and that his next of kin was his aunt, Mrs.
Lilly (Lillie) Blackburn, Birmingham, Alabama.
Any and all information would be much appreciated.
