Hello All: I'm hoping some list members might be able to help with these questions: 1. Are there naturalization records at the Marshall Co. Courthouse or another local office? NARA website said they are scattered in various courts. 2. I recently transcribed the 1870 Liberty District Census. The last item was " Male citizens of U.S. of 21 years of age and upwards whose right to vote is denied or abridged for other grounds than rebellion or other crime." Does anybody know exactly what this means? 3 men in that district had that box checked. 3. Are there records available that shows if a man paid a substitute in the Civil War? 4. My g-grandfather, his brother, and brother-in-law, did not serve in the Union Army (as best I know). Are there local records for local Confederate soldiers? 5. Were able-bodied men required, at some point in the war, to serve in the Union Army or pay a substitute? Thanks, Joel M. Robinson
