This contained information not found on the population schedule, such as the person's age and who they were living with. Publishing of these returns was authorized by an act of Congress in 1841, printers were Blair & Rives, Washington, D.C. The book groups the names by the town where they lived. This transcription lists them in alphabetical order. Town names are included as an aid to researchers. This schedule lists a number of women, who were likely widows who were collecting their late husband's pension. =============================================================================================================================================== CENSUS YEAR: 1840 STATE: Illinois COUNTY: Statewide MICROFILM#: M704- DISTRICT: All ENUMERATOR: Not written =============================================================================================================================================== Name of Pensioner Whom Living With TOWN OR PAGE LN# LAST NAME FIRST NAME AGE LAST NAME FIRST NAME COUNTY TOWNSHIP TRANSCRIBER REMARKS =============================================================================================================================================== 186 3 Ammerman Albert 49 Ammerman Albert Adams Quincy City 3rd Ward 188 40 Bailey Robert 85 Bailey Robert Vermilion . . 188 11 Banes John 80 Banes John Perry . . 187 11 Barger John 46 Barger John Gallatin . . 187 84 Bates William 82 Bates William 82 . . 186 11 Baytha George 85 . .
