and
Case Files of Approved Pension Applications of Civil War and Later Navy Veterans (Navy Survivors' Certificates), 1861-1910

Digitization of approved pension applications of widows and other dependents of Civil War veterans who served between 1861 and 1910 is the result of a partnership between FamilySearch, NARA, and Fold3. Ultimately, the Civil War Widows' Pensions project will digitize, index, and make available approximately 1,280,000 Civil War and later widows’ files in the series. These are paper records scanned from pension files archived at the National Archives in Washington, DC. They are part of Record Group 15, Records of the Department of Veterans Affairs, 1773-2001. To learn more visit http://www.fold3.com/page/3496_civil_war_widows_pension_applications/

In addition to name, state, regiment, company, and pensioner given name, the pension files are also indexed by widows' Certificate number (WC#). The original pension applications at NARA are organized by certificate number, given according to when the widow applied for a pension. The digitization project is being done in chronological order according to the widows' certificate number.

The List below are those widows' pensions, that we know of, for Warren County soldiers and sailors.
If we have also located the file in the footnote collection, the Dependency column will provide a link to the Footnote images for that particular file.
We will add others as they are found. 
If you know of any additions, email the information to [email protected]

A fold3 subscription is needed to view the images - a good buy when compared to the fee charged to obtain a single pension file directly from NARA.
