Ancestor Pension

I had an ancestor who was with the 18th Ms, Cavalry and lived after the war in Mississippi. I have been trying to locate his Pension and found that he had one in Alabama. Howver, he did not live in Alabama and was in the service from Mississippi. Could someone tell me how this could be. Did a soldier have to file a pension request from the state he served?
