1890 United States Census Enumerating Union Veterans and Widows of Union Veterans of the Civil War Copiah, Mississippi

All surviving soldiers who served in the Union Army were not enumerated due to political tensions in the South and problematic census taking. Confederate veterans were enumerated despite the fact the census was designed for Union veterans. The Census Bureau later drew a line through the names of Confederate veterans. This census was recorded June, 1890.

Transcriber’s comments are enclosed in parenthesis.
