I think I have found my Samuel Wilson on a card on the Confed. Rosters in the LVA digital collections. It has reference to a vol. 5 p.311. The only information I can find on this site is that it is in reference to bound volumes which have been microfilmed. I sent to the NARA for records on him but they say they don't have any and refered me to Va St. Library. What is my next step? Did all or most wives apply for pensions for husbands that were killed in the war? or was it too much trouble for what was received. What years did pensions start for confederate survivors? Did surviving children qualify for anything that there would be a record of? Thanks for any help and suggestions. A. Daniels
