Cathy Hall Grand Island, NY Subject: [TN-all] Confederate Pensions by County > From: bookish59@cs.com > > To the List: > > I'm pleased to announce that the Tenn. State Library & Archives has added a > "county index" to the Tenn. Confederate Pensions web page. This means that > you can identify all of the pensioners from one county. We hope this will > encourage local historians to work with a group of pension files to see how > the Civil War affected the whole neighborhood, not just individuals. It can > also help genealogists looking for clues, because even if one's ancestor > didn't apply for a pension, he may have been a supporting witness for his > neighbor's application. > > You can find this index at the bottom of the introductory page. The url is: > http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/pension.htm > > You are welcome to link to this data or post it on your county web site. > However, we do ask that you give clear credit to the Tennessee State Library > and Archives as the original compiler of the data, as well as the location of > the pension files. Thanks. > > Chuck Sherrill
