Note: Twentieth Battalion, Virginia Heavy Artillery, Company A (Captain James E. Robertson's Company). Record says age 21, ours would have been 29. Note says mustered out a private? Maybe they just had to fill in that part even though he died at Appomattox. Other Arrington's in same company: Robert O., Alfred L. & Geo. A.

If someone has time to check, I'd appreciate greatly a lookup in Franklin Co. VA cemetery book(s) and/or 1880 Franklin Co. VA Census: Mary "Polly" (nee Ferguson) PHELPS.
Her name is not listed in the published death records book (Franklin Co. VA) -- although she apparently died bet. 1870-1880.
She was last recorded in the 1870 Census, Bonbrook Post Office, Franklin Co. VA; she lived with dau.'s family: Samuel ARRINGTON & Evaline (Phelps) ARRINGTON.
One Arrington granddau. married William Givens STEWART -- and some of this family removed to Rice Co., Kansas (by late 1880s).
Mary "Polly" (Ferguson) PHELPS was born ca. 1787, daughter of John Ferguson Jr. (d. ca. 1828/29 Franklin Co., VA, intestate) & unknown Native American woman.
She was the widow of John PHELPS d. 1815 Franklin Co. VA (lived on the Stanton River), who was son of Lieut. John PHELPS Jr. (Revolutionary War) & first wife Jemima TURNER.
Thanks for any assistance!
