McGoughs and McGues in the 1890 Veterans' Schedules and Other Census Substitutes by Hugh McGough

A part of the 1890 US census was a Special Schedule of Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines and Windows. The schedule was designed to list persons who served in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps of the United States during the war of the rebellion (who were survivors), and their widows. Although the schedules were designed to list only those who served in military units of the Union, a few persons who served in the military units of the Confederate States of America were mistakenly listed.

As time allows, I intend to add to this list names of McGoughs and McGue from other 1890 census substitutes.
