Civil War Salt Rolls note special allotments of salt to wives, widows and other dependents of Confederate servicemen. The Justice of the Peace in each Georgia militia district kept lists of dependents for whom allotments were made. Salt was also a currency used to barter for other necessities in an economy where money was valueless or non-existent. > > This is one place in which records of women and children during wartime can be found in Georgia. Original Salt Rolls are arranged by county.
