A book-form index to pension applications is, Sistler, Samuel D. ''Index to Tennessee Confederate Pension Applications.'' Nashville, Tennessee: B. Sistler, 1995. (FHL book 976.8 M22s index; fiche 6125500 [set of 5].) This book includes entries from all three pension files: soldiers, widows and colored men's applications. An "S", "W", or "C" before the application number designates the file where the application originated. The county where the application was filed is listed as well as the applicant's unit in which he served. Again, use care when limiting your search of this index by county. Veterans may have moved from the county where they were born or the county where they enlisted in their unit. | A book-form index to pension applications is, Sistler, Samuel D.
