Remarried Widows Index to United States Pension Applications, 1887-1942
This FamilySearch digital version of a card index at the US National Archives may help assist researchers during this time period--it has subsequent married names of widows who qualified for a Civil War widow's pension.
Thank you for this. It will be very helpful. I've included this post in my NoteWorthy Reads post for this week: http://jahcmft.blogspot.com/2015/04/noteworthy-reads-9.html , as some friends and I were recently discussing civil war widows pensions and this might help them. I know it will help me.
Just had a conversation in the grocery store with a genealogy friend about this very resource. Today was the first time I'd heard of it.
