Confederate Indigent Families Lists (1863-1865) 

"On November 24, 1863, the Texas Legislature passed a Joint Resolution stating 
that the government pledged "support and maintenance of [the soldiers'] families during 
their absence from home." In accordance with this Resolution, an "Act to Support the 
Families and Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 15, 1863. The Act set 
aside $1,000,000 annually to be paid the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers 
currently serving in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or disabled in 
service." Chief Justices of the counties, on or before March 1 in 1864 and 1865, submitted
lists of servicemen and the number of their dependents eligible for relief...While the 
number of dependents are always given, additional information may include some of the 
following elements: name of the soldier; currently in service; disabled or killed in 
service; unit; acting head of household."

            Please be aware that only an index of names appears at this site.
