For those who seem to be unable to go to the web site and click on the link to the 1862 Military Census here is a direct link to the main page of the census: http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan/1862military.htm For those who find their ancestor/other relative is not where they expected him to be I suggest you read the introduction and take note of the difference between PRECINCT and TOWNSHIP. It was not a full blown census. It was a military census. They only asked what the federal government told them to ask. They only covered the people they were instructed to cover. Exemptions are explained in the introduction. You can also use the 1855 state census which is also on the web site and the 1860 federal census which is not. The Logan County G&H has an index to that and other censuses on a CD for purchase at a very reasonable price. There was an 1865 state census but it is not available for Logan County. The 1855 state census is the only one available for Logan County. Cheryl Rothwell

Cheryl: I found my g.g.grandfather listed in the 1862 military census - do you think there would be any kind of paper work on him and if so, where and how do I go about obtaining it??
