Sorry if I repeat information you already have but I didn't want to wade through all the replies (I'm lazy).

As of 1860 Census

Isaac N. Adams (c.1837 born in Illinois) and wife Angeline (c.1839 born in Illinois) were living in or near Danville, Isaac was a farmer.
Children were Barbara c.1860 born in Illinois and W. H. Adams c.1858 born in Ill.

Illinois marriage records lists also lists Isaac's middle initial as N. as does the pension index card (see below)

According to pension index card

Angeline applied for a pension on March 2, 1865 (certificate #65538) and filed on behalf of dependent child (name given as H. W. instead of W. H. Adams) on Sept. 6, 1869 (certificate #135631).

Angeline married Austin B. Bishop on Oct. 13, 1865 in Vermillon County, Ill. He filed for a pension (I didn't write down date or certificate #). Angeline again applied for a widow's pension in 1902 (certificate #555155)

A certificate number indicates she was awarded a pension. Angeline lost her right to a widow's (of Isaac) pension when she married Austin but their child W. H. or H. W. was eligible.

Let me know if I can be of further help.
