Chesterfield County Civil War Pensions

All known Civil War Pension Files for South Carolina, including Chesterfield County, are on file at the SC State Archives and History.

Today, I found an alphabetical listing of the recipients from Chesterfield County on the Chesterfield County Genealogy Trails Website.

The CONFEDERATE SERVICE Pension Application, Chesterfield County, South Carolina can be accessed here:

http://genealogytrails.com/scar/chesterfield/cw_pensioners.htm

If you find one of your ancestors on the above list; then, your next step is to obtain a copy of the pension file from the SC Archives. These files generally consist of two pages and can be ordered/purchased from the SC Archives & History. 

However, they are also available  on-line and can be accessed and downloaded free here:

http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/search.aspx

When you open the SC Archive search page it will look like this in your web browser:

Let's say that your ancestor is the first person listed on the pension List - Adams, Arimenta of Jefferson.

On the SC Archive page (see screen capture above) , go to the second line -  Individual

In the block enter last name, comma, first name

Adams, Arimenta

 Then click SEARCH at bottom of page

That will bring up this page

S126088: Confederate Pension Applications

Now, I know these two files are too small to read; but if you place your mouse pointer on these images and double click you will get the full readable image.  

When you get the full image up; you can place your mouse pointer on the image and right click your mouse; select – SAVE IMAGE AS and it will save the image to your computer and then you can PRINT IT locally on your home printer.

In the case of Arimenta Adams above:

 page 1 will download as - S12608802425a

page 2 will download as - S12608802425b

If you like, once it's downloaded you can rename the file.  I do hope this is helpful and find your Civil War ancestor file. If you have any problems contact me by e-mail and I will assist you in downloading the files.
