In 1882, Congress directed the Military Pension Office to prepare a listing of individuals receiving pensions for prior war service. The Pension Office produced a listing called "Pensioners on the Roll" as of January 1, 1883. I have transcribed the list of Military Pensioners that were residing in Adams, Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Brown, Buffalo, Burnett, Calumet, Chippewa, Iowa, Jackson, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland, Trempealeau, Vernon, and Washington counties. I have recently moved those pages to my new home page on Rootsweb. Go to my home page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~eborreson/ and scroll all the way down to "Military Pensioners". That link will take you to a page that lists the counties. Select the county and you will be taken to a page that lists the names exactly as they were originally published. Please let me know if you find this of any value.
