Biographical/Historical:     The Florida Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy has its origins in Jacksonville, where the national organization chartered its first Florida chapter on November 7, 1895. In January 1897 this chapter was named the Martha Reid Chapter No. 19 in honor of Mary Martha Reid, the matron of Florida Hospital, a Civil War hospital established in Richmond. For Florida to form a Division, the state needed three more chapters. By July 14, 1897, it had five chapters and the Florida Division U.D.C. held its First Annual Convention in Jacksonville.
Summary:     The collection contains membership applications for disbanded and active chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Florida Division.

In addition, these applications may provide the date and place of birth, marriages, and/or death of the veteran; the military unit served in and battles fought; and time and place if killed in action or died of wounds.
