Holders of Civil War Bounty Bonds in Lapeer Co.

While looking up township tax records at the Archives of Michigan in Lansing, I found the list (below) in the back of the Dryden Township tax records book. It is not a complete list (I did not transcribe all of the names) and I don't know what (if any) significance the numbers before the names have. Just thought it was an unexpected piece of information found among tax records.
