SURVIVING CIVIL WAR VETERANS AND WIDOWS
FROM THE
TOWN OF DENMARK, LEWIS COUNTY, N.Y.


With Additional Notes From the Adjutant General's Office Muster Rolls

This segment of the 1890 census is more formally known as the "Eleventh Census of the United States, Special Schedule, Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines and Widows, Etc." The information gathered on surviving veterans was deemed necessary by Congress due to changes in the pension law extending benefits to a wider range of veterans and widows. The veteran or widow was asked to provide the regiment(s) and company served in, dates of service, and current health status of the veteran. Experienced genealogists know that the regular 1890 census of the United States was destroyed in a fire several decades later, with material from only a few scattered counties throughout the U.S. surviving.

The information below was transcribed from a photocopy made from the microfilm. Lewis County researchers are fortunate that the greater portion of the Lewis County 1890 Vets Census is legible, although some towns are light or faded. If your Civil War ancestor is listed, his military and pension records can be ordered from the National Archives, using the company and regiment given below.
