There are some links on Footnote.com that have information on Edward P. Gaines Sanchez, son of Francis Roman Sanchez.
He is listed in the 1860 Federal Census for Connecticut, Hartford County, Hartford, 3rd District, page 59 during the Civil War.
He received a Union Civil War Soldier's Pension. He served in the 3rd Connecticut Infantry Regiment, Company A. It gives his death as 8 Jan 1919.
If a man served honorably in the Confederate Military and lived in Florida after 1885, he could apply for a pension. The widows of these men could under some conditions apply for a continuation of the pensions. The conditions and forms changed over time.
The paperwork includes genealogical and historical information about these individuals. The paperwork is stored in Tallahassee in the State Archives. Electronic copies of these files are available online.
There are 11 of these files where either the husband's or wife's surname is SANCHEZ.
