1890 U. S. Census Special Enumeration of Bledsoe County Veterans

In Census Records, Civil War History

Transcribed by Sara Goins from National Archives Microfilm M123 which consists of 118 rolls, this transcription is from Bundle 165 of the special schedules.

The Bledsoe County enumeration is unique because at least one enumerator included Confederate veterans and later drew a line through their names; these are listed as (Sol. Conf.) in the abstract below.

Also some names appear to be out of District order, but are presented here as they were listed on the microfilm.
