The Salt Lists are broken down into years, from 1862 in some counties till 1864. These lists provide the names of the wives, widows, heads of household, orphans of soldiers, disabled soldiers and families dependent on the labor of a soldier at war who were receiving salt rations. These lists are invaluable in determining service for some men in some cases where records cannot be located. You can also determine for example that a woman was a WIFE in 1863 and a widow in 1864. If you are doing research in the following Counties: FRANKLIN, HABERSHAM, STEPHENS, RABUN, WHITE, BANKS OR JACKSON COUNTIES, my books entitled THESE MEN WORE GREY has these lists for you broken down into years, and categories of wives, widows, etc. They are also alphabetized. I have seen no other publication that breaks these down for you as I have done in my books. I give you the complete lists.
