I have recently acquired microfilmed copies of all of the CSA pension applications that were filed in Schley Co. Some of them are quite lengthy and take a great deal of time to transcribe. I have just completed one such application that is truly amazing in it's detail and speaks volumes of the times these veterans endured in their last years. The pension application of Wm. Abner Banks, I found fascinating. It can be viewed at http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/schley/military/civilwar/pensions/banks.txt I will be sending applications to the Schley mailing list when they are not too lengthy and they can always be viewed in the Schley Military Archives as they are posted. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/schley/military.html Since there is such a close connection to Marion and Sumter counties, many of you Marion/Sumter county researchers may find something helpful in these applications as well.
