CAUTION* Caution There are other facts and images to be added from James Haggerty's pension. I'll get to it as soon as possible. 
Birth*1833 James Haggerty (Immigrant prior 1870) was born in 1833 at Westmeath, Ireland.1 
Military*4 October 1852 He was in the military on 4 October 1852 at New York City, New York, New York, When he acknowledges that he voluntarily enlists on this date, he signs his name with one G and states that he is 21, born in Westmeath Ireland. He is described as having blue eyes, brown hair, fair complextion and is 5' 5."1
Military4 August 1857 He was in the military on 4 August 1857 at Belknap, Young Co., Texas, When he acknowledges that he voluntarily re-enlisted on this date, he signs his name with one G and states that he is 24, born in Westmeath Ireland. He is described as having blue eyes, black hare, fair complextion and is 5' 5."1
(InHomeOf) Census18701870 He appeared on the 1870 census in the household of Farmer from Kentucky, pg 623 #19-19, Mt Pleasant, Cass Co., Missouri. His info on the census included - James is in the household of Esquan F Brown, a farmer from Kentucky. James is a farmhand age 35 b.Ireland and there is no indication he is any relation to Mr Brown or his family. His future wife also works for Mr Brown.
Marriage*1 January 1871 James Haggerty (Immigrant prior 1870) married Mary Jane Gambill, daughter of William Gambill and Nancy Landreth, on 1 January 1871 at Belton, Cass Co., Missouri; They definitely married on Jan 1st, as that is what is stated in James' pension by Mary in 1909. She puts the year as 1866 "that she believes that to be the date". However, they had not yet married in the 1870 census and their first child wasn't born until 1874, so the year would be between 1870 and 1873. In the 1900 census it says they've been married 30 years, which would make it 1870 but since we know they weren't yet married in 1870, it has to be 1871.
