Generally the end of a Civil War pension did mean the death of the veteran. Since he lived so long after the Civil War, it isn't likely you'd find any Widow's Pension papers, but it might be worth trying -- if he was married. I don't Bellevue he needed to be married to that wife at the time of the Civil War for her to be eligible for pension benefits. > -----Original Message----- > From: larbear@kdsi.net [mailto:larbear@kdsi.net] > Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 7:41 AM > To: ILTAZEWE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [ILTAZEWE] Civil War Pension Question > > > List Members: > > I've just received Pension Papers for my Anderson Jennings who served in > the Civil War.
