1890 Veterans Census
Northern Virginia
Included with the Eleventh Census of the United States (1890) were special schedules
to identify Union veterans and widows of Union veterans of the Civil War.
This project abstracts the name of the veteran and/or his widow, the military
unit in which he served, and the local residence for those veterans or widows
enumerated in Alexandria and Falls Church as well as Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun,
Prince William, and Stafford Counties from M123, Rolls 106, 107. Additional
information gathered on the census included street address, and notation of war
injuries or disabilities. There are quite a number of Confederate veterans
enumerated whose names were subsequently struck; where legible, we included these
persons. Interesting to note, there were a number of United States Colored
Troops identified, chiefly in Alexandria.
Photocopies of the census schedules are available. Contact the Library
