This is a guide and index finding aid to the Republic of Texas
Donation Voucher Files, 1879-1887; and Confederate Scrip Voucher
Files, 1881-1883. These two record sets at the Texas General Land
Office can provide evidence of service in either the Texas
Revolution or the Civil War on the Confederate side. In some cases,
these documents are extremely fragile and no longer available to
any researcher. In 1879, the Texas legislature passed the first act
establishing the Republic of Texas Donation grants of land and the
terms by which veterans would be able to qualify. In 1881, there
was further clarification of the terms. The Confederate Scrip
Vouchers are another post-Reconstruction act. They were designed to
lessen the burden of poverty visited upon many ex-Confederate
soldiers by Reconstruction, especially the infirm, crippled, or
their surviving families. The documents submitted in support of the
claim, when granted, constitute authentication "by notary or other
qualified officer." The records are presented in two parts:
Republic of Texas Donation Vouchers, 1879-1887; and Confederate
Scrip Vouchers, 1881-1883. The records within each section are
listed numerically, preceded by a surname index as an aid to
researchers.
