In Tennessee widows pensions were first issued in 1905, fourteen years after Confederate soldiers began receiving pensions. Do you have a specific individual you need me to check? Let me know and I will see if she received a Tennessee pension.

At what date did Confederate widows become eligible for a pension?
Thank you,
