Here is the link to google books for Volume 2 of the List of Pensioners on the Roll for 1883 (volume 2) including the state of Pennsylvania. There are 5 volumes - if you need to search another state, search google books for the book title and include the state. These books include ANY veteran or widow who was receiving a pension from the federal government, including vets/widows of 1812. Most are from the CW. Best of luck everyone - (these are the same books as ancestry.com, however are easier to search, altho I have yet to figure out HOW to print pages.)
