The Kentucky Civil War Research Series

Coming soon!

Webster County in the Civil War

I am nearing completion of a book on the events that took place in Webster County, Kentucky during the Civil War. This book will include sketches of the units recruited in the county, as well as a biographical roster of nearly 600 men who served from or are buried in the county. I am seeking information on all soldiers from Webster County, Union or Confederate, and will gratefully acknowledge all assistance provided in the book. Do you have information on your Webster County ancestor, but don't know if he served? Contact me and I will be glad to share any information that I have.

Confederate Soldiers of Kentucky,
A Roster of the Veterans
1861-1865

Edited by Stephen D. Lynn

An alphabetical listing of over 40,000 soldiers who served in Kentucky Confederate units during the Civil War. This book also includes those Kentuckians that served in the 1st Confederate Cavalry, 6th Battalion Confederate Cavalry, 7th Battalion Confederate Cavalry, and Lt. Bennett H. Young's Company of Retributors.

This book was compiled from numerous sources, including the Index to Compiled Service Records for Kentucky Confederate Soldiers, the Report of the Adjutant General of Kentucky (Confederate Volunteers), Confederate Pensioners of Kentucky, Wells' & Prichard's 10th Kentucky Cavalry, C.S.A. May's - Trimble's - Diamond's "Yankee Chasers" , the records of the Kentucky Confederate Home, records of Kentucky Confederate Veterans organizations, and more. This book contains thousands of names not included in the Adjutant General's Report. It is the most comprehensive Kentucky roster in existence.

Published in 2002, this book is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", hard-cover, dark gray cloth, and 400 pages. Cost: $30.00, plus shipping and KY sales tax.

Confederate Pensioners of Kentucky,
Pension Applications of the Veterans & Widows
1912-1946

Abstracted by Stephen D. Lynn

That's all folks! Sold out!

An alphabetical listing of approximately 4,700 former Confederate Veterans and Widows who applied for a Confederate pension from the Commonwealth of Kentucky between 1912 and 1946.

Entries for Veterans include name of applicant, county of application, pension number, military unit, birth and death information.

Entries for Widows include maiden name of applicant, county of application, pension number, her birth and death information, her husbands name and military unit, date and place of marriage, his birth and death information.

Pensioners are indexed by Kentucky County of application, Kentucky Military Units (i.e. 2d Kentucky Infantry), and non-Kentucky Military units (i.e. 16th Virginia Cavalry). The military and genealogical information in the book was abstracted from the Kentucky Confederate Pension Application files now in the collection of the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives.

Future Volumes

Future books are planned for the Kentucky Confederate Home, Kentucky Civil War Military Units, a Kentucky Union Veterans Roster, and History of the Eighth Kentucky Cavalry, U.S.A.
