USCT Pension Applications
This collection of Pension Files for the United States Colored Troops (USCT) have been ordered from the United States National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or have been donated by the public. They originate from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Pensions, now part of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The records are organized by the Veteran's surname. These records are not completely transcribed, however, our staff have pulled important data for your research including information about the Veteran's time in service, his spouse(s), date and place of birth, and more. This is a growing collection and more records are being added regularly.
