Seeking record of non-military service during the Civil War

Ancestor Civil War draft record has been found but research has not found a military record or pension for him. Family lore indicates that he may have provided non-military service by driving wagons.

Dear Ms. Weber,

Thank you for posting your response on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives website and located the webpage, Wagonmasters Serving the Union during the Civil War, which includes a list of the names of wagonmasters.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck on your family research!
