BURIAL SITES OF UNION NAVAL VETERANS.
With the assistance of several very helpful persons and also with information gleaned from various other sources, I have attempted to compile a preliminary list of the burial details of Union naval veterans of the Civil War, including information relating to their naval service and other relevant facts.
All sources are shown at the end of the list. On several occasions I have used data obtained from copies of the pension records of naval veterans obtained from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. These are indicated after the relevant entries. Additional information has been obtained from Muster Rolls, State Rosters, the Official Records of the Navies and several Internet Sites. The list will be updated periodically, and any additions, corrections and criticism will be most welcome.
