Military Monday: Eliza Hensley Agee’s Widow’s Pension

My ancestor, Austin Agee, served with the Confederacy during the Civil War.

I was so excited to receive this packet a number of years ago. Up until that point, I had assumed that those who served under the Confederacy didn’t receive pensions.  This was only a few pages long, so nothing compared to the Union pension packets, but it is full of very helpful, important information.

Here are the scanned images of what I have.
