Texas Confederate Pension Applications

This information came from the Texas State Electronic Library, which is a good place to check for Texas information. The Home Page has good, concise instructions for navigating the areas, and the results are worth the trip.

The pension applications contain a great deal of family information, such as how long in the state, where born, when married, and in some cases, the witnesses will usually be relatives.The site will provide ordering instructions and the information is sent before you forget you have ordered it.
