The unsubstantiated fact that Albert was an orphan may have come from a misinterpretation from this quote, "Albert Hulse Co G. 145 & E 107 NY Inf military records furnish nothing addl to former report herewith Not borne as Albert Hulse on rolls of above org? ". Whoever wrote this note questioned this item and I definitely question what it means and conclude that there is not enough information to draw a conclusion that he was adopted. pg. 83 CW Pension of Mary Elizabeth Murdock b. 12 Sep 1837 pg. 104 Stone Co., MO 17 Feb 1905 – Mary's application pg. 1 Age 67 pg 1 Res: Baxter, Stone Co., MO pg. 1 Pension # 597, 488 pg. 11 TD: Scan signature of Mary on page 1 Witness to her signature on app: Elmer Edgar Lander, known for 22 years (he is her daughter Ella Jane's husband) pg. 2 Thomas Randolph Lawrence, known for 20 years (prob.

Pg. 28 Deed transferred 7 Sep 1907 from Mary E. Hulse to B.A. Lander for the sum of $500 Stone Co., MO pg. 30 General Affidavit made by Mary E. Hulse, "That she owns a rough mountainous farm containing one hundred and sixty (160) acres (left to her by her late husband) located in Williams Township, Stone Co., MO valued at about Five Hundred (500) dollars. Affiant further says that she owns two cows of only ordinary quality valued at about thirty five (35) dollars and such articles of household furniture … Affiant further says that as she and her late husband (Albert Hulse) were both raised up in the same neighborhood and often saw each other before either had arrived at a marriageable age that from her own personal knowledge that neighbor she nor her late husband were ever married prior to their marriage to each other. Pg 38, 39 3 July 1905 sworn statement of E.H. Rogers, Justice of the Peace who said that "I was called to break the seal and open and read … the Will made by …. Albert Hulse" He owned one hundred and sixty (160) acres of land located in Stone Co., MO. All property was left to his wife Mary Hulse. pg. 55, 56 Marriage of Albert & Mary m. 17 Jan 1855 (Albert 24 yrs old and Mary 18 yrs old) by Rev. Wm Gothard, Center Morichles, N.Y. No previous marriage prior to Mary It is noted in this affidavit that Mary requested a marriage certificate from Suffolk Co., NY and was told that at the time of their marriage (1855) "there were no public record dept of marriages in the State of New York". Pg. 39 "Affiant says that then she wrote to a brother living in Suffolk County New York and requested him to send a certified copy of her and her husbands marriage from the Church Records and that she was informed by her brother that at the early date 1855 there was no church record kept of marriages". Pg. 39 Jerusha [Hebrew origin] D. Kingsland age 78 a citizen of Hallowell Co., of Cherokee and State of Kansas on 24 May 1905 made affidavit that she knew both Albert and Mary since childhood and that all three grew up in the same neighborhood and she stated that the marriage between Albert and Mary was the only marriage for either one and that it dissolved due to Albert dying. Pg. 42 Affidavit dated 24 May 1905 from Maria D. Kaler who also grew up with Albert and Mary made a similar statement to the one made above. Pg. 44 She signed another affidavit dated 22 Feb 1905 that stated she attended their wedding on the day and place of record. Affidavit dated 4 Apr 1905 by Symes Murdock that he witnessed Mary and Albert's marriageable on said date and place. pg. 48 Affidavit dated 3 Jul 1905 by George W. McCullough (45) of Baxter, Stone Co., MO and George W. Bonham (36) both have know Mary and Albert for the past 20 years. Both state "that twenty five dollars per year would be a fair rental value of said farm…" pg. 52 CW Pension of Albert Hulse Pension # 272, 880 4 Sep 1862 (31 yrs old) – 5 Jun 1865 (34 yrs old) pg. 3 Pvt Co., G, 145 Reg, New York Inf pg. 3 11 Jan 1864 – Trans from 145th pg. 3 Pvt Co.

Lawrence, MD that "he was in Medical attendance upon the late Albert Hulse of Baxter, Stone Co., MO in his last sickness and that on the 28th day of January A.D. 1905 that the said Albert Hulse died of B rights Disease of the kidneys." Pg 49 (Ref 4) In an affidavit dated 5 Mar 1884 he stated I further state that the disability for which I claim a pension arises from "Disease of the Eyes which was contracted on the effect of Small Pox contracted while a Teamster in the Division ammunition train. I was enlisted as a Teamster and never performed any company duty after taking the field. I reported to Capt Bachman at the consolidation of the 145th with the 107th New York and never saw him after that time as I returned to duty with the train." Pg. 62 This was further substantiated by Wm W. Kingsland who statement on 5 Mar 1884 that when Albert "return(ed) home he was pitted with Small Pox and had weak and inflamed eyes". Wm had known Albert for 30 years (1854 when Albert was 23 yrs old and living in Suffolk Co., NY). pg. 84 It's possible that Wm Kingsland was the husband of Jerusha D. Kingsland age 78. On pg 87 & 91 Wm W. Kingsland signed the Edmund Reeve document as "Justice of the Peace". Elisabeth L. Reeve (possible wife to Edmund Reeve) and J.[erusha] D. Kingsland in an affidavit dated 27 Jun 1883 stated that they had known Albert since 1843 which would have been when Albert was 12 years old and living in Suffolk Co., NY. pg. 88 In a separate affidavit F. A. Kingsland (age 24 possible child of Jerusha and Wm Kingsland) stated he had known Albert since 1856. B. A. [Ben] Lander (age 27) stated he had known Albert since 1853. pg. 89 8 Mar 1884 Edmund H. Reeve age 82 stated that he had known Albert for 29 years (1855) stated that Albert "was pitted with Small Pox … The marks of Small Pox still show on his face." pg. 86 23 Apr 1897 - Declaration for Increase of Pension as his medical condition worsened and now was "Sore eyes and blindness – Kidney Disease – Constipation.

I believe this to be a mistake and contradict The date 1871 on pg 4. Residence Mary & Albert In a sworn statement made 12 Apr 1884 by Albert Hulse in documenting his background made this statement "… the witnesses being connected directly with my wifes family which was among the first settelers of Suffolk Co., NY."

Under the general heading of neuralgia are trigeminal neuralgia (TN), atypical facial pain, and postheraputic neuralgia (caused by shingles or herpes). The affected nerves are responsible for sensing touch, temperature sensation and pressure sensation in the facial area from the jaw to the forehead. The disorder generally causes short episodes of excruciating pain, usually for less than two minutes and on only one side of the face. The pain can be described in a variety of ways such as "stabbing," "sharp," "like lightning," "burning," and even "itchy". In the atypical form of TN, the pain can also present as severe or merely aching and last for extended periods. The pain associated with TN is recognized as one of the most excruciating pains that can be experienced. Simple stimuli such as eating, talking, washing the face, or any light touch or sensation can trigger an attack (even the sensation of a gentle breeze). The attacks can occur in clusters or as an isolated attack. Some patients will have a muscle spasm which led to the original term for TN of "tic douloureux" ("tic" meaning spasm and "douloureux" meaning painful in French). Neuralgia is a form of chronic pain and can be extremely difficult to diagnose. Patients usually show no physical abnormalities, and with the attacks generally lasting a very short time, it can be difficult to reach a doctor before the attack is over. Postheraputic neuralgia is the easiest to diagnose because it follows an obvious cause (shingles). Neuralgia is rare, especially in those under 30. Women are more likely to be affected than men, and those over 50 are at the greatest risk. In some cases, multiple sclerosis is related to nerve damage, causing the pain, so doctors will likely ask about family history to help diagnose. Nothing unusual can be seen in brain scans, so diagnosis is usually based on the description of the symptoms. Ref (2) Teamster is someone who drove a wagon with either one or two horses. And the army used a number of them to transport their supplies. Ref (3) Smallpox is a serious, contagious, and sometimes fatal infectious disease. There is no specific treatment for smallpox disease, and the only prevention is vaccination. The name smallpox is derived from the Latin word for "spotted" and refers to the raised bumps that appear on the face and body of an infected person. There are two clinical forms of smallpox. Variola major is the severe and most common form of smallpox, with a more extensive rash and higher fever. There are four types of variola major smallpox: ordinary (the most frequent type, accounting for 90% or more of cases); modified (mild and occurring in previously vaccinated persons); flat; and hemorrhagic (both rare and very severe). Historically, variola major has an overall fatality rate of about 30%; however, flat and hemorrhagic smallpox usually are fatal. Variola minor is a less common presentation of smallpox, and a much less severe disease, with death rates historically of 1% or less. Smallpox outbreaks have occurred from time to time for thousands of years, but the disease is now eradicated after a successful worldwide vaccination program. The last case of smallpox in the United States was in 1949. The last naturally occurring case in the world was in Somalia in 1977. After the disease was eliminated from the world, routine vaccination against smallpox among the general public was stopped because it was no longer necessary for prevention. Ref (4) Brights Disease is an older classification for different forms of kidney disease. It was named after Dr. Richard Bright, who described the condition in the early 19th century. Lack of understanding of kidney function naturally meant that several different conditions could be considered Brights Disease. These include inflammation of the kidney, commonly called nephritis. Inflammation may be the result of too much protein being shed through the kidneys, called proteinuria, or hematuria, which causes blood in the urine. As well, Brights Disease might describe kidney failure due to high blood pressure or retention of fluids. Those symptoms most commonly associated with Brights Disease were intense pain on either or both sides of the lower back. Fever might be present and intense edema, or retention of fluids, might cause the extremities to appear extremely swollen. Breath could be labored and difficult, particularly if kidney failure caused fluid to accumulate in the lungs, or was caused by metastasized cancer. To Do: Scan signature of Albert Hulse on pg. 5 or 63 or 67 Scan signature of Mary Hulse on pg 5 Research these names to see if they were related to Albert or Mary. Wm and Jerusha Kingsland Transcribed/Summarized on 28 May 2007 by Kenneth D. Brock Grandfather spent twenty three years [1838 – 1861] of his life on the ocean. [age 7 to 30] Finally, in 1862, he left the sea. Whaling was on the rocks and whales were getting scarce. Then, too, petroleum had been discovered in Pennsylvania, doing away with the demand for whale oil. When Grandfather came home he found his country at war. He joined Sherman's forces at Chattanooga for the march through Georgia. He stayed away till the end of the conflict. He said it was easier to stay away three years than to come home and return to the struggle.
