Can You Read It?
This comes from a early twentieth century pension file in Hancock County, Illinois. This individual was born in the 1820s in New Jersey.

Your page for 1850 U. S. Grant shows him at his residence with his father-in-law and his name grossly misspelled. In actual fact, he was not home, but he, wife Julia and infant son were on the S B Excelsior on the Mississippi. He was enumerated twice in the census, therefore, and was listed under Hugh S Grant where he actually was located. The Dents did not get the ages right, but the Grants did. I discovered this by doing a search on Julia Grant.
Your signatures are pretty easy by comparison!
Sarah A. Newman is it.
