Joy Fisher has provided us with the below information on the 1883
Pension roll for Carroll County participants.
Federal Pensions were distributed for service in War of 1812, Mexican and Union
Civil War. (Does not include Confederate Service Pensions in fact participation
in the Confederacy may have barred men from drawing a pension from previous War
service). Pension Records may be ordered from:
