Attaway Total 8 NOTES:COMPLETE SALT RECORDS, which includes the wife's list, the widow's list, the families dependent on the labor of a soldier at war, orphans of soldiers, and disabled Soldiers already home from war. There are also lists from many counties in 1862 that are JUST HEADS of HOUSEHOLDs eligible for SALT. Around the time of the Civil War, salt was a necessity for curing meat (since there was no refrigeration) This was important not only for individual families, but for their abilities to sell their meat. Their farm animals (as well as the CSA ones) needed salt to survive. It was used as well in setting dyes and in curing leather for shoes. Most of the salt had previously come from Europe and with the war blockade, salt had to be found in: 1) salt springs 2)mines of rock salt Gov. Brown offered 5,000 reward for the discovery of salt springs that could produce 300 bushels daily. To assure a just distribution of the valuable! salt, Gov. Brown instructed the Justices of the Inferior Courts of each county to create lists of those eligible (these men also had to advance the $ to pay for it!) Distribution was by 1/2 bushel to: a.. Widows of soldiers (free) b.. Families of serving soldiers & widowed mother of soldier ($1) c.. Heads of families ($4.50) Careful use of the lists may reveal the change of status from wife to widow. Lists are arranged alphabetical by county; then by category of need. They contain name of woman, county of residence.
