“The following is his description at the time of his enlistment, Via :Indian,

I am new to genealogy research. I have been blessed with fairly extensive trees and research on my families from cousins. Can someone please tell me all of the ways one obtains information such as:
- statements at the time of enlistment
- pension requests
- court records?
Are any of them free online? Thank you, Dianne
Dianne, are you talking about jesse being listed as Indian? I was wondering if any of the Perkins/Parkins being Native American.

This information was for James Spencer not Moses Perkins..
Jesse Perkins is the son of Moses and he was in the Union Army Civil War,I have some information regarding him that I will post..
Information can be found at the National Archives In Washington DC..
As far as I know there is no Native Americans in the Perkins line..
