This information came from the Texas State Electronic Library , which is a good place to check for Texas information. The Home Page has good, concise instructions for navigating the areas, and the results are worth the trip.

The pension applications contain a great deal of family information, such as how long in the state, where born, when married, and in some cases, the witnesses will usually be relatives. As I say they are worth the trip. The site will provide ordering instructions, and from experience, the information is sent before you forget you have ordered it. I have found a great deal of missing data in my research from the applications. Good luck and good hunting
