The Veteran Census was ordered to enumerate Union veterans and the widows of
Union veterans, but some Confederate veterans and widows made it into the
schedules, as well. There are almost 75,000 names in this schedule.
This enumeration was requested by the US Pension Office to assist Union veterans
and their widows in locating people who had served with the veterans and who
could help pension claims go through by testifying on behalf of the veteran or
widow who was applying for the pension. Other, less publicized uses for this
census was to allow the government to determine the number of Civil War veterans
and widows for pension legislation purposes, and also for members of Congress to
conduct an informal study into the effect of different types of military service
on the longevity of the veterans.
