Pensioners On The Roll

Congress directed the Pension Office to prepare a listing of individuals receiving pensions for war service. The Pension Office produced a listing called "Pensioners on the Roll" as of January 1,1883. The Roll apparently contained all pensioners, although only a small portion is presently online. The pensioners included veterans of the War of 1812 and Union service during the Civil War. In addition to the veterans themselves, family members receiving pensions based on said service were also included. Pensioners on the Roll was prepared from the official government records of the time, so this listing is likely to be one of the most complete and accurate records of the time.
