Military Records
Confederate
Indigent Families Index
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.
