Dear  members of the list 
George Edward Hattorf, the endless story, we have had a  discussion about him 
some weeks ago. Meanwhile i have got his pension files from  NARA. Very good 
32 pieces of paper full of informations. So i should be  happy shouldn’t I? 
I  told you before i never could find him in the 1870, 1880 and 1900 census.  
Well he was about 10 years old as his father Frederick A. Hattorf, puts him 
in  an orphenage. His mother Julia M. Hattorf died around  1855. 
He  never knew his real date of birth, so he was talking of September 1844, 
1845,  1846, 1847….. so to search him means to search all years between 1843 
and  1848. 
He  was a volunteer in the army in 1862 but he was not 18 as he thought he 
was just  16 years old, when he served together with his brother Frederick in 
the  13th New York Artillery. 
After  his military duty he was for a certain time in the army corps, but he 
is  DEFINITIFELY back in New York City in the year 1876 and he stayed there 
till his  end in 1911. (even he died in Florida, perhaps he made a holiday trip 
or  whatever) 
But  now the hardest shock, to get his military pension he explained ….. I 
WAS NEVER  MARRIED !!! 
So i have only a Georger Hatorf in the 1910 census,  single born 1845, what 
is the absolut correct date of birth same year of birth  as in the 1850 census 
New York. So i have no doubt that this is the right  one. 
But  he is not in 1880 and not in 1900. Yes I know we have been talking about 
a  GEORGE HATTORF who is listet in the 1900 census living in New York born 
around  1848 salesman, with wife Jennie and 3 boys Fredrick, August and  George. 
IF i  say IF George was never married who is that George Hattorf in the 1900  
census???? A misspelling of Huttorf or Hottorf???? But why cant i find then  
ONE of those 5 persons in the 1900 census in another census year even using 
only  the first name and the year of birth even if their family name would  be 
Barbarella i should find them. Nothing in 1910, 1920 and 1930 and the 3  boys 
are much to young to die. Perhaps one could have had an accident but not  all 
3. And the names Frederick, August and George absolutely perfect. The name  of 
the father, the grandfather and the brother of the father of George Edward,  
but he was not married i know…. 
Or  was George Edward Hattorf a …. liar??? Didn’t he want to spend his 12 
dollar  pension with his wife, cause he has left his family?   
Any  suggestions and any ideas how I can identify that George in the 1900  
census??? 
My  best to you all  Armin
