Civil War Confederate Pension Applications Index

Presented in questionnaire form, a soldier's application lists the Veteran's place of enlistment, unit, period of service, battles participated in, and whether he was wounded or captured. Pension applications also included information on place of birth, number of children, and value of personal and real property owned by Veteran.

If the pension application was filed by a widow, you can learn even more information. Their applications list place of birth for both widow and husband as well as the names and ages of any children. Since proof of marriage was required for admission to the pension rolls, a copy of the marriage certificate is often found in widow applications. You may also find correspondence between the applicant and the Pension Board, letters or sworn affidavits attesting to a Veteran's character and the nature of his military service, and abstracts of the Veteran's service record furnished by the Federal War Department.

It is important to note that while all of the individuals listed were residents of Tennessee when they applied for pensions, they did not necessarily serve the Confederacy in Tennessee.

Listings Include:
- Veteran's name
- Pension applicant's name
- Applicant's county of residence

Veterans' Schedules: U.S. Selected States, 1890

Veteran's schedules were forms that the census takers had with them when they were taking the regular population count. In 1890, these extra veterans' schedules were meant only to record information about Union soldiers and their widows. However, many census takers also recorded information about Confederate soldiers, as well as soldiers who served in different wars, including the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. You should note that these veterans' schedules are often used as a partial substitute for the 1890 federal census, because the federal government's copy was destroyed by fire. Fragments of the 1890 census may exist in state and local repositories throughout the U.S., but they are difficult to locate and not complete. While not listing everyone who would have been included in the 1890 census, the veterans' schedules are a partial head-of-household list for those who were old enough to have served in the Union Army during the Civil War. States represented include AL, D.C. IL, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. In addition, there are a few records from the states of CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, MA, NY, OH, and PA.

Listings Include:
- Individual's first and last name.
- State, county, and locality of residence at the time of the enumeration.
- National Archives Microfilm page number.
