(Research):Civil War Pensioners 1894

William B. Jackson Private Co. B 10th Regt. Ky Vol. wh

1861 Harris City

Although is listed as above in the Greensburg IN library as on Civil War pension, can not find the above Unit listed in NARA records. Only 10th Unit found listed was a Confederate Unit and it was founded in 1864 after Buck was in Indiana. A Wm. B. Jackson enlisted as a Private on 04 July 1862, absent without leave, then is listed in Co. B, 7th Cavalry Regiment Kentucky, enlisted 26 August 16 1862. Wonder if this could have been Buck Jackson?
