Millard Filmore Bolar - Civil War Minor File - Guardianship File - Civil War Minor file on Millard Filmore Bolar, son of William H. Bolar and Amanda Stroud Bolar, Step son of John Franklin Rigney - Personal - http://maxpages.com/generations/Millard_Filmore_Bolar

The minor file on Millard Filmore Bolar and the Civil War pension files on William H. Bolar, John Franklin Rigney and the widows pension file of Amanda Stroud Bolar Rigney each have a different reference number, HOWEVER, at the National Archives, they were all in the file of John Franklin Rigney. The information on the three overlap somewhat, I have tried however to split them up so that the information would be a little easier to find and read.
