1883 Pensioners on Roll

A very special thanks to Gordon Byers for the following information on the 1883 Roll and the Monroe County, Missouri Roll list below!

The U.S. Congress directed the Pension Office to prepare a list of individuals receiving pensions for war service. The Pension Office produced a list as of January 1, 1883 called "Pensioners on the Roll".

The pensioners were primarily Union veterans from the Civil War or survivors from the War of 1812 but also included other service as well. In addition to the veterans themselves, family members receiving pensions based on said service were also included. 

Note that Confederate veterans were not eligible for federal pensions from Civil War service and presumably such service may have barred them from drawing such benefits even if qualified from other military service.
