| Revolutionary War Pensioners in the 1840 Census | |||||||||||
| Like most of the earlier censuses, the 1840 census listed only the head of the household and the number of people in specific age groups living within a particular household making it only useful to a certain degree in genealogy research. What most people neglect, however, is that the 1840 census listed revolutionary war soldiers along with their specific ages. Here you will find a list of Revolutionary war veterans found in old Tishomingo, Itawamba, Pontotoc, and Tippah counties according to the 1840 census. | |||||||||||
