Hello C. Brown,

A few tidbits of info:

John R. Selbe appears on the 1890 Veteran's Schedule of Mason County, WV. Unfortunately, Selbe discloses only that he was an Orderly Sergeant in Company E, 7th WV Cavalry and was a resident of Point Pleasant. No dates of service or other details given.

According to WV Marriage Records, John R. Selbe married Mary F. Bickel on September 18, 1866 in Mason County.

Selbe has a Pension Application on file dated July 24, 1886. He died on January 10, 1908 in Phillipsburg, Kansas. His widow filed a Pension Application shortly thereafter.

Follow Mr. Pitts' advice. These documents are the key.
