We would like to post your transcriptions of Southern Campaign pension applications or muster/pay/ration lists here even if they are already posted elsewhere on the Web. Why? With the addition of each new transcription, this fully searchable database becomes a more useful aid to historians, genealogists and family researchers. This site has search engines dedicated to searching only this database. Click SEARCH above to access these search engines. Please submit your transcriptions in MS Word, OpenOffice or other text rich file format and we will post them here free of charge. Submit your transcriptions by email to Will Graves at revwarapps . Click here for formatting suggestions for the transcriptions you wish to submit. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT TRANSCRIPTS MADE BY OTHERS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. Corrections are welcomed: Please submit corrections to the same email address. Because this site is run by volunteers with limited time to commit to the project, we have decided to limit postings to only pension applications filed either by participants in the Southern Campaign or to claimants who resided in Virginia, the Carolinas or Georgia at the time they entered any term of service regardless of where they served. With regard to roster transcriptions, we limit those to rosters relating to units composed of men who either fought in the South or whose units were formed from men who lived in the South at the time of the unit was formed. Also, because we want this site to be of maximum use to researchers, we request that transcriptions of rosters be made from either the original or from images of the original with citation as to where the original is located so that researchers can review the original, if they elect to do so. The administrator of this site reserves the right to edit transcripts submitted for posting, but transcribers retain total control of the transcript including the right to require that the transcript be deleted from this site. Whatever copyright entitlements, if any, as may vest in the transcriber under applicable law are retained by the transcriber. Because the interpretation of 19th century handwriting will vary among transcribers, users of this database are urged to view the original on Footnote.com or HeritageQuest.com to make their own decision as to how to decipher what the original scribe actually wrote.]
