Whilecertainly nothing of great revelation I find them interesting.I have seen both sets (for his two enlistments ) of his originaldischarge papers at my father's house. However, much to my frustration,my father cannot find them at this time. Apparently John W. was paid totake the place of another for his second term of service.My father relates that his father, A.T. Marvel, told of having to leadhis grandfather, John W., around the house when he was a boy as John W.was totally blind.Cox, Carroll and Gloria, "We the People of North Central Posey County,"printed by C&E Enterprises, a division of Hope's Hopechest, Route 1Poseyville, IN 47633, 1993.Juanita Ruff, ruff@cafes.net, direct descendant, 1997.1849 Marriage -- Indiana Marriages Through 1850, Indiana GenealogyLibraryJohn Marvel was born in Gibson County, Indiana but lived most of hismarried life in Posey County, Indiana.
