1890 US Federal Census Town of Sand Lake Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, and Widows, Etc. |
The 1890 US Census was destroyed by fire; only a few counties
in the entire USA survive. However, the 1890 US Census also included a "special schedule
of persons who served in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps of the United States during
the War of the Rebellion [now generally known as the American Civil War, 1861-1865]
(who are survivors), and widows of such persons", enumerated in June 1890. These
special schedules of veterans and widows of veterans survived the fire for most counties
of the USA, and we present here those for towns in Rensselaer County, NY.
Our thanks go
to Debby Masterson 
for transcribing this
census from a microfilm of the original census schedule.
The Town of Sand Lake in 1890 contained the villages of
Sand Lake, West Sand Lake, Sliters Corners, Glass House and South Sand Lake.
