Hi Sharon,

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for information on Charles Kester. I found him and his family in the 1860
Knox County, Indiana. According to my great-great-great grandfather Christian
Timmerman's pension file it stated that Charles Kester was died at Chattanooga during
the Civil War. Christian's wife, Mary Breuer, married Charles Kester first. I would
like to find out what Civil War unit he was in.
Thanks,
Sharon
