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 recipients of these Confederate pensions. This is that list for
Mathews County in the year 1909.
The following list shows the name of the pensioner, and the act under which they
were drawing benefits. Contact the Library of Virginia for copies of the actual
pension application if desired.
