- NOTE 1./ 1864 CENSUS FOR RE-ORGANIZING THE GEORGIA MILITIA
SCHLEY COUNTY
13th Senatorial District-785th Militia District (later known as Lickskillett)
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.
