Did one of your Washington County, Virginia ancestors fight 
for the Confederacy?  If so, he or his widow may have made 
application for pension, and those applications are currently 
on file at the Virginia State Library and Archives in Richmond.  
Copies of the applications may be acquired by writing to the 
V.S.L.A., 1101 Capitol, Richmond, VA 23219.

The State of Virginia enacted its first pension law for 
Confederate Veterans in 1888.  It was restricted to those who 
were residents of Virginia as of April, 1861, and who had also 
resided in Virginia for at least five years prior to filing of 
application.  An applicant must have been indigent to the extent 
that he did not earn more than $200 per year, and had no property 
value of more than $1,000.  He must also have been disabled due 
to wounds or disease suffered while in service.

The following three separate lists contain the names of those who 
made applications in Washington County.   The applications are 
separated into three series according to the year of the act under 
which they were granted.  The first was in 1888, the second in 1900, 
and the third was in 1902 extending through 1934.  Please note that 
these lists do not contain the names of those children and sisters 
who were allowed pensions under the Act of 1915.
