The Library of Va. has pension applications online. Go to www.lva.lib.va.us, click on What we have, then military records. I can't remember if it's just the card index or the actual application. Good luck.

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. >>
