Confederate Pension Applications

Husband's and wives didn't always file for pensions in the same county.

Texas Confederate Veterans Pension Applications are kept at the Texas State Electronic Library and while they charge a fee for copies, it is very reasonable and they're always are helpful and considerate.

The information in the applications is very complete and usually contains parents, spouse, date of birth, date of marriage, how long in Texas, present address and how long at present address. They will also contain other family members in the references or Interrogatories, which is usually by family members.

A rejected application means usually that their service could not be verified, that they did not serve long enough, or they took the oath of allegiance before Lee surrendered the Army of the Appomattox. There can be more than one application also. If there is more than one, when you request information, all applications by that person is sent.
