Types of records are correspondence, petitions, and lists, dating from October 1866 to December 1867. Records are of Governor James Throckmorton's term in office.

Texas applications for special pardons, 1865-1867

Title: Texas applications for special pardons 1865-1867

In an Executive Proclamation dated May 29, 1865, U.S. President Andrew Johnson issued a General Amnesty, which pardoned most ordinary citizens of the former Confederate States of America. Anyone who fell within one or more of the exceptions to the General Amnesty could take an Oath of Amnesty as a preliminary step to his application to the President for Special Pardon. These records are applications of Texans for special pardons, and consist of envelopes, letters, and petitions, occasionally accompanied by an oath of amnesty or a certificate of oath of amnesty, dated 1865-1867. The individuals involved were requesting special pardons for alleged disloyalty during the Civil War, referring mainly to either the 1st or the 13th Exception (to the General Amnesty). The letters and petitions were written by the applicants themselves, as well as by persons vouching for the applicants, and were addressed to either Governor A. J. Hamilton (June 1865-June 1866) or Governor J. W. Throckmorton (June 1866-July 1867). If the Governor recommended a special pardon, the application would then be forwarded to U.S. President Andrew Johnson. In several cases, the files include additional letters addressed to President Johnson. Most files contain the envelope, and in many cases only the envelope, which lists the history of the application, including its recommendation or disposition.
