Notes From g-g-g-grandson Mike BENNETT via email on 10 Nov 2008: I was wondering if in your search for Luther C. Arbour's parents you had ever requested a copy of the Civil War Pension application casefile from the National Archives? I don't know what information on parents might be included but it might be worth atry. Do you know anything about what typically is in these files? If you have not requested it previously, I was considering sending away forone if you think it might have some good info in it. Mike
From Mike BENNETT via email on 26 Mar 2009: Looks like we struck out onLuther C. Arbour's Civil war pension file. Hard to believe when we hadthe info on theindex . . .

Dear Researcher, We were unable to locate the records that you requested in order number: F41-44626481E. Your credit card will not be charged.You will receive an annotated paper copy of your original request explaining why we were unable to find the requested record. We encourage you to use our online service to submit future requests for reproductionsof other National Archives records. Should you have any questions about this order, please do not hesitate to contact us at: Sincerely, National Archives and Records Administration, AI Forms Reference Section, 8601 Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20783
To Mike BENNETT via email on 26 Mar 2009: Dear Mike: Sorry to hear about this latest setback. In between receiving your email and writing thisreplying, I did a little checking of my own. The response I received may ormay not enlighten us. "Being a registered independent researcher at the National Archives here in DC, I can think of several reasons why they couldn't find the file. In no particular order:
1.You mis-read the pension application number and/orthe pension certificate number on the Ancestry pension index. For some reason when Ancestry microfilmed the index cards they reduced the size of the cards thus reducing the fancy writing of the mid-1800s so that the numbers are illegible/indecipherable.
2. The file(s) was signed out before the pension files were transferredto the National Archives from the War Department Pension Office.
3. The file(s) were open and inthe hands of the Veteran's Administration when the pension files were transferred to the National Archives. If this is the case, you can request the files from the Veterans Administration, but be prepared for quite a wait. I've requested twopension files from the VA; the first took 15 months before I received it, and the second took 14 months.
4. Perhaps the file is signed out internally. Possible reasons, such asthe file is part of internal research project.
My suggestion is to wait until you get the printed sheet indicating whythe file isn'tavailable beforeyou get too concerned."
So, Mike, are you sure that you copied the file number correctly? I read it as 243546, dated 17 Oct 1918. Meanwhile, you just wait for the annotated letter. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is just a temporary setback and not a permanent one.
From Mike BENNETT via email in Apr 2009: Hi Shannon: I've attached the response letter from the National Archives.According to the comments section, they also believe the pension was denied and the only reference is to an application number. Do youor your sources know if there is any way to obtain a pension application file if the pension wasdenied? You would think there is some file somewhere . . . Mike

From Tom ARBOUR via email on 13 Apr 2011: My Current working hypothesisis that Luther Arbour's father was either a man named Joseph Arbour (born around 1780) or possibly a man who I'm guessing was his Brother, William Arbour, born around 1778. I'm also guessingthat these men were the sons of the Joseph Arbour, born around 1750, who is mentioned as one of the first settlers of Steuben County, New York. I believe that this Joseph (1750) is in your tree here. I believe that Joseph Arbour 1750 also had adaughter named Charity Arbour, who married Thomas Murray before Joseph left PA for Stueben County in 1793. According to the 1790 census, Joseph Arbour (1750) had 6 household members- two males under 16 (who I'm guessing were Joseph Jr. andWilliam, whoeventually move with him to New York), 1 male over 16 (himself), and three females. The first female would have been his wife, the second female would have been his daughter Charity, and the third female is unknown to me. HOWEVER, in your tree, youhave listed a daughter of Joseph (1750) named Elizabeth- who would be that second daughter. Does that all make sense? The William Arbour (sometimes spelled Arber) (married Jane Pearsall), born about 1778, born in Pennsylvania, who alsolivedin Stueben County during the early 1800's. My hypothesis is that William and Joseph Jr. were the elderJoseph's sons. A William Arbor, born in PA in abt. 1778 shows up as anold man in Cass County Michigan, living with Daniel Arbor, as recordedinthe 1850census- I'm not sure if this is the same William Arbour fromSteuben County or not. I believe that all ofthe Arbours that were bornin the Steuben County , New York area in the early 1800's, were all grandchildren of the Joseph Arbour (1750) thatfounded Stueben County. Luther Arbour moving to Ohio, and Mary Boone Arbour Fowler, Benjamin Patterson Arbour (moved to Michigan), William H. Arbour (moved to michigan as well), and quite possibly this Daniel Arbour who was born in New York, living with his father William "Arbor" that was born in Pennsylvania.It all just makes sense.So whowas Joseph Arbour's (1750) father? Rightnow, here's my best guess: I have found a few documents on the internet of a William and Agnes Arbour that livedinPhiladelphia in the 1750's,and I believe they would have been the right age to be Joseph Arbour's(born abt. 1750) parents, but again, this is even more speculation. A guess really. But The name sounds right, and this line continued touse thenames William and Joseph throughout their history. Let me know what you think ofthis.....it's a working hypothesis. Right now, I don't haveany really good first hand Arbour stories that go back to New York andPennsylvania, but let me know whatyou thinkabout my theory.

From Mike ARBOUR via email on 17 Nov 2011, having sent him a copy of the National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Dayton, Ohio (1866-1938), Register no. 07500-08999, mentioning Luther : Thanks.I hadnotseen this before. Luther sure seems to be a man of mystery regarding his birth place and parents. Have you heard anything recently from my distant cousin Tom Arbour? I know he was researching Luther also. Mike
