Persons who served in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps of the United States during the war of the rebellion (who are survivors), and widows of such persons, in N. 1/2 Township of Plymouth (Northville), County of Wayne, State of Michigan, enumerated in June, 1890.
William W. Thayer, Enumerator
Supervisor's District No. 1
Enumeration District No. 191
Because of the difficulties in securing data concerning the veterans or their survivors that the regular and special enumerators were expected to encounter, the Census Office secured all possible information in advance of the enumeration. A preliminary list of the names of 458.677 surviving veterans was compiled from the records of the Pension Office; efforts were made to obtain rosters of all Grand Army of the Republic posts throughout the country; and requests were made for State rosters, adjutant generals' reports, and other publications likely to be of value in the work of verifying the special schedules.
The work of the enumerators, which was begun on the first Monday of June 1890, was completed by July 1 of that year. The work of examining, verifying, and classifying the information on the special schedules was carried on from August 1, 1890 to June 30, 1891. During this period many thousands of letters were written to veterans to obtain information not obtained by the enumerators, and inquiries were published in about 500 newspapers throughout the country in order to elicit responses from veterans overlooked in the enumeration. An examination of the special schedules indicates that at least part of the data so obtained was added to the schedules by the Census Office.
Despite a good deal of preliminary work in preparing the contemplated list for publication, the Act to provide for the publication of the Eleventh Census, approved February 23, 1893, did not provide funds for its completion. The Superintendent of Census suggested, therefore, that the original intent of the law would be complied with if the schedules containing the records of the service of the surviving veterans, together with their post office addresses, were transferred to the Commissioner of Pensions. This recommendation was acted upon favorably by Congress by an act approved April 21, 1894, and the schedules were transferred shortly thereafter. Under authority of an act approved July 3, 1930, these schedules were transferred to the Veterans' Administration where they remained until their transfer to the National Archives on March 24, 1943.
Each special schedule, consisting of four pages, contains spaces for
fifty entries. On the upper half of each page are included the name
of the veteran (or if he did not survive, the names of both the widow and
her deceased husband), the veteran's rank, company, regiment or vessel,
date of enlistment, date of discharge, and length of service in years,
months, and days. The lower half of each page contains the post office
address of each person listed, disability incurred by the veteran, and
under the heading "General Remarks", other information necessary for a
complete statement of the veteran's term of service. Persons who
enlisted and served under assumed names, and afterwards assumed their lawful
names, are listed under their real names followed by their aliases.
In a few cases, names of Confederate veterans were recorded inadvertently.
