On November 24, 1863, the Texas
Legislature passed a Joint Resolution stating that the government pledged
"support and maintenance of [the soldiers'] families during their absence from
home." In accordance with this Resolution, an "Act to Support the Families and
Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 15, 1863. The Act set aside
$1,000,000 annually to be paid the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers
currently serving in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or
disabled in service." Chief Justices of the counties, on or before March 1 in
1864 and 1865, submitted lists of servicemen and the number of their dependents
eligible for relief. The County Clerk administered the money distributed to the
county for this purpose. Please note that lists were not compiled in every
county; those counties are not represented in the index.
The information varies somewhat from county to county. While the number of
dependents is always provided, additional information may include some of the
following elements: name of the soldier; currently in service; disabled or
killed in service; unit; acting head of household.
