Re: John McKee

Dawn,

You may already have all the info that you can get for your John McKee.I requested the service record, using form 86 from the Natl Archives, for Henry S. Mason who was killed with Custer.I have the same basic info you have for your man and thought I could find additional info from his service record.Boy did I get a surprise.For $17 I received 3 11x14 pages.One page was an Oath of Enlistment, one page had a copy of a Declaration of Recruit and an enlistment card. These two, items took up about half the page.Then the last page was a Register of Enlistments which was barely legible.The only additional info that I didn't already have was where he enlisted, that he was not married and a short description of the man.There was no sevice record as I have received on other requests.Pretty crappy I think for $17.
