None exist for Kentucky. However, most of the Special Military Schedules still exist, including those for Pulaski County, Kentucky. * denotes someone noted as "U.S.C.", "col", or "colored" When you get to the page, you'll find a nifty alpha listing of names such as this: [see sample graphic in online version of the column.] I clicked on "Patterson, Daniel" in the index and was presented with the scanned image of the page where Daniel is listed with the rank of private, Company (A or H?) 7th Kentucky Infantry. You'll note other columns list: -- his date of enlistment -- date of discharge -- length of service. Thankfully, the top of each page states the source of the document as follows: "Pulaski Co, KY 1890 Special Schedule: War of the Rebellion Survivors & Windows. NARA Film M123, Roll 3. Donated to the USGenWeb Archives by V. J. Davis, Oct 1999." I then printed out the page by clicking the printer icon on my web browser tool bar. THANKS to the USGenWeb Census Archive Project -- You'll save a lot of time and money obtaining the document mentioning your ancestors -- no more traveling to the local FHCenter or regional branch of the National Archives, no rental fees, no photocopy fees.
