VW Civil War Pensioners
The information below was researched and compiled by Harry
Macy, Jr. from National Archives microfilm T288, General Index to Pension Files 1861-1934.
Most of the VWs listed here have not been tied to their respective family pages because generational
information is missing that would make that connection possible. I believe Mr. Macy has some
of this information and he has been graciously supplying it to me as time permits. If family lines are known by Mr. Macy, they can be found in red after each individual entry.
The first number is the pension application file number; the second is the number of certificate issued. Names are in
alphabetical order by last name.
