I have been able to transcribe only a few of the pension applications available at the Library of Virginia. Here is the list of applicants who were living in Stafford County (plus a few people on the list because their surname is STAFFORD). Reading the applications, it is clear that most people lived in the county of their birth their entire lives. But of course you can search by surname at the Library site, if you think your veteran may have applied from another county. I think some of these surnames may have been mistranscribed. If you KNOW there is an error, you probably should let the Library know. Best, Laura Pension applications can be accessed from the Library of Virginia site http://eagle.vsla.edu/conpen/virtua-basic.html Confederate Pension Rolls, Veterans & Widows: RECORDS WITH SELECTED KEYWORDS stafford and county - 302 hits (but 13 are surname STAFFORD) 1.
