1862 MILITIA ENROLLMENT
Perry Township
Tippecanoe County, Indiana


The following list contains all the males, ages 18-45, who resided in Perry Township in 1862.  It should be noted that this list consists of those men eligible to serve and not those who actually did serve.   Some of the words were difficult to read, and I have placed an [?] by the ones that were questionable.
