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
