Upson COUNTY, GA - Census of Paupers 1872 Copyright.

As early as 1863 the law provided that parents and children of paupers are bound to support them. Ga. Code Ann., § 23-2302 provides: The father, mother or child of any pauper contemplated by the preceding section, if sufficiently able, shall support such pauper. Any county having provided for such pauper upon the failure of such relatives to do so may sue such relative of full age and recover for the provisions so furnished. Ga. Code Ann., § 23-2301 provides: Who are paupers -- No person shall be entitled to the benefit of the provision for the poor who is able to maintain himself or herself by labor or who has sufficient means. In cases where females are unable to maintain themselves and the helpless children they may have, they may be aided to the extent required in the furnishing of food, clothing, or shelter. ==========1850========= To the Honorable Inferior Court of Upson County, If it is the attention of the Court to attend to County business, particularly to appropriations for the support of paupers, I beg to present a case which I think a Pauper, one for their consideration. I presume that in selecting objects of charity no difference is made as to color, and I will therefore state the case. There is an aged Negro woman now living on my premises, where she has been for more than ten years. She is free, never belonged to me or any of my family. I allowed her to occupy a house at a time when she was able to maintain herself, but she has two or three years in consequence of loss of sight to a great degree, and being disabled by repeated attacks of rheumatism, she is now utterly incapable of doing anything by which she can support herself. She is on my premises, but I am under no obligations for past services or other considerations than any one else. I therefore respectfully submit to the Court if it would not be right to allow her money enough annually to buy a couple of hundred pound of pork, ten or twelve bushels of Corn, a little sugar, molasses.

Ninth Census of the United States Department of the Interior Census Office Washington, D.C. July 22, 1872 To the County Clerk of Upson County, Thomaston, GA. Sir : The return of the Assistant Marshal of the Census of the county of Upson gives the total number of Paupers supported during the year as 25 with a total cost of support of only $1200, being about $48 per head. The expense of supporting a pauper in rural communities throughout the United States ranges from $70 to $100, and in cities from $90 to $150. It would seem, therefore, that either the number of paupers have been returned in this case too high, or the cost of support for some reason understated. Will you favor this office with the best statement which it is in your power to make of the total number of paupers supported throughout the year within your county, together with the cost of aggregate support. Where temporary and partial relief has been afforded, it is the rule of this office to divide the amount so expended by the ascertained cost of supporting one pauper during the entire year, and to add the number thus obtained to the number of paupers actually supported during the whole or greater part of the year. Please advise me at your earliest convenience of the receipt of this letter, and inform me whether I may expect the statement asked. If this information is properly in the possession of some other officer than yourself, I beg that you will refer it to him for attention. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, ________________Acting Superintendant This is in 2 pages & horribly written.
