  2. Colleen,

    Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Thy are very helpful. I did look at Fold3 (I have a membership) and there were only a couple of pages for a S. W. Brock and a Samuel Brock.
    http://www.fold3.com/image/#67715861 (S. W. Brock), 1 page
    http://www.fold3.com/image/#20|67715811 (Samuel Brock) 5 pages; but, Enlistment date does not match what is listed in his pension record.
