I also found a pension index card for Sarah J. Burket in ancestry's Civil War pension
records with the Co. I, 94th Illinois Infantry listed. I didn't print it out. I have
waited on joining footnote for an Iowa pension file to be printed. As far as I can tell
they have started on the east coast.
Did you find the 1860 Census record for EphraiN BIRKET, age 24, b. IN in Makinaw, Tazewell
Co., ILL? Sarah J. is there with children George, Mary, Isabell all born in IN and
Charles and Clarissa in IL, and Jacob Hartman 65 living with them.
Sorry I couldn't find more. The spelling on Burket is very creative. I tried to look
for the records of where the 94th ILL regt. was in Nov 1863. It looks like either Alabama
or Texas. I also couldn't find a list of deaths for that regiment. The soldier I was
looking for from Iowa had deaths listed in that state's records.
Good luck in your search.
