BANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA

Background note: Governor Joseph Brown insisted the State needed protection for women, children, elderly and invalids living home during the War.  Every time State troops were formed they were taken into the CSA.  Since there was no homefront protection, Governor Brown and the Georgia Legislature issued an order for a statewide census which would enable a reorganization of the State Militia.

White Males of age 16 and not over 60 were to be counted along with exact age, occupation and place of birth.
