Military Pension Files
Bedford County, Pennsylvania
These files are copies of military pension files from the National Archives in Washington, DC. Although most of the pension files are for soldiers who served in the Civil War, there are also pension files for soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Spanish-American War. Also, there are records for soldiers who served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. These are designated with (CSA) after the name of the war.
These pension files are of different lengths. Some are fairly large and contain over 100 pages. A few are small and contain fewer than ten pages. Our cost for a copy of a particular pension file depends on the length of the file. Write or email to the address above to receive a price for a copy of a file. The National Archives currently charges $75.00 for files up to 100 pages and more for larger files. In all cases our cost for a copy of a file will be less than the cost that you would be charged by the National Archives. In most cases our cost will be substantially less.
