The Confederate pension applications with supporting documentation are available at the Georgia Archives from 1879-1960. The pensions are being digitized and some are already online in the Archives Virtual Vault: http://content.sos.state.ga.us/cdm4/pension.php Prior to visiting the Archives, you might want to check Virgil White's "Index to Georgia Civil War Confederate Pension Files" to see if your ancestor is listed as receiving a pension in Clayotn County. If he is, then the Georgia Archives will have the applications. Joanne Smalley
