The veteran, his heir(s), or his assignees presented documentation of Revolutionary War service. Upon approval of the claim, the executive issued a certificate on which the Land Office register issued a warrant for the bounty lands. The certificates provide the name of the veteran, his rank, the line in which he served, and his length of service. They are dated and signed. If the claim was from someone other than the veteran, there are supplemental papers setting forth the assignment or the inheritance. In the case of the latter, the date and place of death and the names and addresses of the heirs are given. The accepted documentation of the military service will be found in the Bounty Warrants in item “k” supra.

The entries are arranged alphabetically by the name of the patentee in the regal period of 1623–1774 or the grantee from the Commonwealth for the years 1779–1990. Each card gives the name of patentee or grantee, the county of location of the land, the number of acres, a brief description of the property, and the volume and beginning page number of the original record. Because the index was prepared from county abstracts begun in 1818, there are some discrepancies.

Locality
Virginia
Virginia provided Confederate pensions under three acts. The act of 1888 provided pensions for soldiers, sailors, and marines who were maimed or disabled in the service and to widows of men killed in the war. It covered applicants who were residents of the state in April 1861 and who resided in the state at least five years before filing an application. Applicants could not have earned more than $200 per annum and owned no property valued more than $1,000. The veteran had to have been disabled in the service. Subsequent acts broadened the coverage to include all veterans, their widows, their unmarried or widow daughters, and their sisters. The pensions filed by sisters and daughters are extant and do not appear this microfilm series. The 1900 act extended coverage to widows whose husbands had died during or after the war from wounds. The 1902 act included widows whose husbands died from disease contracted during the war. It also provided for servant pensions, i.e., for African Americans. The index gives the name, county or independent city of residence, year of the act, whether the soldier or widow is the applicant, and usually a roll and page number. Many of the index cards for widows also give the name of their husbands, but that is not always the case. The dollar amount of the pension and the date of the pension appear on many cards. In some instances the year of death of the veteran also appears. The index is not to be considered complete because many veterans and next of kin did apply for and received pensions.
