Series 1201: Confederate Pension Applications. 1900-1932.
Auditor (RG 29)
Applications for state pensions filed by Confederate veterans, widows of Confederate veterans, and servants of Confederate soldiers. The applications include the name of the individual, the unit in which the veteran served, the dates of enlistment, and other pertinent information. Applicants filed for pensions in the state in which they resided at the time, not necessarily the state in which they enlisted. Arrangement is alphabetical by name of applicant.
In 1888, Mississippi began providing pensions for certain disabled Confederate soldiers and sailors, disabled servants of officers, soldiers, and sailors, and widows of soldiers or sailors who died in service (Laws, 1888, Chap. 12). The requirement for a pension for “indigent” Confederate soldiers, sailors, widows, and servants was incorporated into the 1890 state constitution (Sec. 272). Over the years, the requirements for and the amounts of pensions have been modified by state law until the law was repealed in 1992 (Laws, 1992, Chap. 396, Sec. 12).
Persons meeting the requirements had to file applications with their county board of inquiry (later county pension board), consisting of the board of supervisors, sheriff, and clerk of the chancery court. This board approved or disapproved the applications and forwarded them to the state auditor where they also went through an approval process. Copies of the applications and the subsequent annual reports of the county boards were to be kept on file at both the county chancery clerk’s office and the state auditor’s office.
LIMITED ACCESS Access to original applications is restricted due to their age and fragility. Please use the microfilm in the Media Room. |
