Hello fellow genealogists! I have a question about a column on the 1870 US census. The heading states "male citizen of US of 21 years of age and upwards where right to vote is denied on other grounds than rebellion or other crime." My ggg-grandfather, David Barnett, has a mark in this column in the 1870 census. He lived in Sugar Creek in Scott County, later Logan County, Arkansas at that time. The way this column heading is worded, it sounds like these "grounds" do not include the oath of allegiance the Confederates had to take after the Civil War. If that is the case, then what would be grounds for denying someone's vote in 1870? It's possible that David did fight for the Confederacy, but the David Barnetts from Arkansas listed on both sides are other Davids, not mine. Any ideas on "grounds" or further research? I'm really stumped... Thank you, Monica Barber Researching McKinney, Cloud, DuFour, Barber, Barnett family trees.
