Chap. 765.—An ACT for the relief of Mrs. Stephen Jones, the widow of a Con-
federate soldier.

Approved March 4, 1806.

Whereas Stephen Jones, of the county of Franklin, was a soldier
in the late war, and while in service was wounded; and whereas in
pursuance of the statute pensioning the wounded soldiers of the Con-
federacy, the said Jones did draw during his life a pension of fifteen
dollars a year; and whereas the said Jones is now dead, leaving a
widow in penniless circumstances, and needing the pension drawn
by her husband to a greater extent than she did during his lifetime;
therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
auditor of public accounts be, and he hereby is, directed to place
Mistress Stephen Jones, of the county of Franklin, upon the pension
list to receive a pension of thirty dollars a year.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
