In 1890 a special census schedule was made in Texas of surviving Civil War veterans or their widows. The intent was to document only Union veterans and widows. However, both Union veterans and some Confederate veterans and their spouses are listed. Distinction of Union and Confederate veterans is difficult to reliably ascertain solely from this census schedule.
The 1890 Federal Census was destroyed by fire in 1921 in Washington, D.C. Only the enumeration of one family in all of Hood County survived the fire.
Thus, the following 1890 Texas Census Index of Civil War Veterans or Their Spouses is of great historical value due to the destruction of most of Hood County’s 1890 Federal Census.
SD = Supervisor’s District
ED = Enumerator’s District
