South Carolina granted pensions to indigent Confederate veterans or their widows from 1888-1918, and to all vets or widows from 1919-1925. The index to these applications is online but I did not find anything on either William C. Puckett or his widow Mary Elizabeth Ann Puckett. You can contact the South Carolina Department of Archives and History at 8301 Parkland Rd., Columbia, SC 29223 or call at 803.896.6100 for additional information just in case they have material not on their website.

Probably not during the war, but most Southern states began pension programs
for vets and widows of vets in the late 1890's, so if she was still alive
then she could have applied. What was her name and the name of her late
husband? Did they live in Virginia?

Hi,
I ordered my great grand uncle's civil war full pension for $25.00 and full
military paperwork for $75.00. Yes, it is very much worth it. Good Luck.

You might try NARA.GOV It seems like that is where I went & I requested
a "complete" file on my ancestor. It was a long time ago when I ordered
mine & I remember it was expensive but so worth the information. Hope
this helps.
