Here is a searchable list of Conf. widows who sought pensions, thanks to the Library of VA.

My great grandmother in Virginia was granted a pension in 1908. My great grandfather had served in a Virginia regiment during the Civil War and died of causes unrelated to the War in 1904. I am interested in what qualified her for this pension. Especially, did their marriage have to take place prior to the end of the War. ==== VA-SOUTHSIDE Mailing List ==== USGenWeb Archives Census Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/ ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
