This is what I have found on: iagenweb.org/civilwar/books/logan/mil307.htm:
Allender, William Age 25. Residence Birmingham, nativity Pennsylvania. Enlist Aug. 25, 1862. Mustered Aug. 25, 1862. Transferred to company I, Fifth Cavalry. See company I, Fifth Cavalry.
I then searched:https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=UIA0005RC.
Go to the above website to learn more about what this unit did during the Civil War.
Here is the link at Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/2543447:1555?tid=&pid=&queryId=3f999a55ff04d6c1cb93cf5fe6b88b26&_phsrc=Ron622&_phstart=successSource
Because of the spouse's name on the pension paperwork I am thinking that Mrs. Allender could have been Mary Elizabeth Cornthwaite Clarke Kemmer Jackson.
