Military Records

As you delve into your family's history, it's important to remember that Brevard County was established in 1844. Consequently, our collection primarily includes records for military engagements following this date. However, the area's rich history means it's possible to find veterans of earlier conflicts, such as the War of 1812, who later settled in Brevard County.

This page serves as a gateway to exploring your ancestors' involvement in military actions, offering access to a variety of resources including draft registration records, pension application files, and listings of veterans buried in the county.
