"Does the Library of VA have VA Civil War military and pension files, or
do I
have to go to the county to get that?"

The Library of Virginia does, indeed, have a large and very valuable
collection of Confederate pension records as well as records for some
Confederate veterans' homes and for disabled veterans. Go to the
Library's Web site, open the "Site Index" in the left margin, and from
the alphabet select the letter M for Military Records.
