The military records of Tennessee span early frontier conflicts through global wars of the 20th century. Revolutionary War pension records, War of 1812 rosters, and Civil War service documents offer detailed information about service and personal lives. Confederate pension files, especially from the late 19th century, are rich sources of family information. Tennessee's World War I and World War II draft cards and veterans’ service records are also vital. The Tennessee State Library and Archives and the National Archives hold many of these resources. For genealogists interested in their Tennessee roots, this state's military records offer crucial links to ancestors’ military service, movements, and social standing across generations.
