1909 Warwick County Confederate Pension List
After the Civil War ended the problem of disabled
Confederate soldiers and Confederate widows came before the Virginia Legislature several
times. In 1888 the Legislature approved payment of pensions of widows of soldiers killed
in action or who died in service and those who were severely maimed while wearing the
gray. In 1900, as the veteran population aged, some restrictions were lifted. In 1902
requirements were further eased. The procedure followed was that the veteran or
widow filled out an application for a pension. This pension was then presented to a local
pension board for review. If this board approved the pension, then it was sent to the
Auditor of Public Accounts for payment. The pension applications were not kept at the
county level. The Auditor of Public Accounts published a list annually, by county, of the
receipents of these Confederate pensions. The following list shows the name of the
pensioneer, and the act under which they were drawing benfits. Contact the Library of
Virginia for copies of the actual pension application if desired.
