(A later recording
of this list of destitute citizens indicates that the State
of Georgia sent an
amount of money to aid Union County’s surviving families of
soldiers and those
disabled from their wounds. The
contribution to Union County
enabled the county
courts to give to each person who was considered destitute,
and others added later,
the whopping sum of 50 cents each.)
NOTE:
Additions in parentheses are my own.
I have made every effort to
transcribe these records
as exactly as humanly possible, though I am sure I have
made some transcription
errors, due to the Clerk of Court’s atrocious
handwriting.
For those, I apologize.
