Pensions for Union soldiers would usually be from the US Government and these are the pensions you would get from NARA. Indiana was a Union State so the pension would be from the US Govt. Confederate soldiers did not get pensions from the US Govt. They got them from the state from which they served. Some of the Confederate States did not have money after the War and therefore they did not give pensions. Some states such as Missouri and Kentucky had both Confederate and Union troops and then you have to search to discover which side they supported and search for a pension accordingly. You can get some information from the Indiana State Archives arc@icpr.state.in.us If you do not live in Indiana, it is quite expensive to get info from them. There is a $20 charge up front if you do not live in Indiana - I consider this fair enough since I no longer live in Indiana and pay Indiana taxes but the charge per page is also expensive. Kathy
