"The first Confederate pensions in Florida were authorized in 1885 and granted
to veterans the sum of $5.00 per month. The next three decades saw a new
Confederate pension bill introduced at nearly every session of the
Legislature. Residency requirements were added and adjusted, militia members
and widows were declared eligible, various financial qualifications were
added and changed, and the amount and method of distribution were changed
many times.
"A Board of Commissioners consisting of three members was appointed under the
first pension law and it remained essentially the same, despite changes in
name and the inability of the legislature to settle on the identity of the
third member. The Governor and Comptroller were members of the board from the
beginning, although the third seat was passed at various times from the
Adjutant General to the Secretary of State to the Attorney General to the
Treasurer, back to the Attorney General, and again back to the Treasurer
before finally stabilizing in 1915 as the Governor, Comptroller, and
Treasurer. The clerical and day-to-day operations of administering the
pension laws were carried out under the supervision of the Comptroller.
"The pension application files include both veterans' and widows' applications
interfiled, although approved and denied claims are filed separately. The
veteran's application generally includes his full name, date and place of
birth, unit of service, date and place of enlistment, date and place of
discharge, brief description of service and/or wounds, proof of service,
place and length of residence in Florida, as well as other miscellaneous
documentation.
"The widow's application is filed with that of her husband and includes her
full name, date and place of marriage, date and place of her husband's death,
her place and length of residence in Florida, and proof of her husband's
service. Some early applications also include the widows' date and place of
birth.
"Confederate pensions were awarded to residents of Florida regardless of the
state in which their service was rendered.
"Copies of the files are available from the Florida State Archives for a flat
fee of $7.50 per file (veteran and widow are filed together.) Checks should
be payable to the Department of State, and mailed to: The Florida State
Archives, R. A. Gray Building, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250."
NOTE: The following index includes the veteran's name, his unit of service,
state of service (if other than Florida), widow's first and maiden name, and
the earliest year of application.
