MILITARY

INDEX TO CONFEDERATE PENSION FILES
CIVIL WAR
STATE OF GEORGIA

Submitted by Joseph Horned

This index was transcribed from records prepared by the Georgia Pension and Records Department. The records from which these entries were taken are located at the Georgia Department of Archives and History.

Confederate military personnel received pensions for military service performed for The Confederate States of America during The Civil War, 1861-1865. The pensions for veterans first awarded in 1879. The widows of Confederate military personnel first received pensions starting in 1891. These pensions were paid to the veterans and their widows from 1879-1960. These pensions were paid to all qualified Confederate veterans and their widows who made an application for a Confederate pension while a resident of Georgia. The approved applicant received a pension regardless of whether the veteran had served in a Georgia unit or the unit of another Confederate state or a unit raised directly by the Confederate Government.

This index contains entries for the witnesses as well as for the veterans and their widows. If a card contains no military service designation, the entry in the index will contain the note, “no service given”.
