    3. In most areas, there were early tax and militia rolls but I don't think there were separate rolls of voters, who generally had to be citizens, white, male, of age (usually 21) and property owners. There was no formal voter registration per se into the 1840s, at least not in most of the country, where virtually everyone in a small town or village who owned property was known to local officials. --- "J.
