1864 CENSUS FOR RE-ORGANIZING THE GEORGIA MILITIA

The re-organization of the militia for the state of
Georgia, was by most at the time, felt to be vital for
the protection of the citizens of Georgia, during the
later days of the war.  All efforts to raise a militia
during these times met with failure as each time a unit
was raised, it was taken into the Confederate Army.  What
was left at home, for the most part, were women,
children, sole surviving sons, aged, invalids, recovering
wounded, and those previously found unfit for service,
for one reason or another. There was no homefront
protection.  There was no army of last resort. 

This statewide census was ordered by Gov. Joe Brown in an
attempt to find the necessary human and physical
resources to provide a home guard.

Here are partial results of this census for Schley
County.  Partial, because they feature only the human
resources.
