By: Clinton J. Perryman, Pub. 1933, reprinted 2021, 224 pages, Index, ISBN #978-1-63914-005-3. Lincoln County was created 1796 from Wilkes County. This book is not too different from other county history books of this era. With such topics as formation of county, trade and transportation, labor, farming, religion, towns and involvement in Revolutionary & Civil War - all important in the development of the county - are carefully discussed. This type of county history book can help one develop ideas or paths to those missing ancestors by showing the customs and traditions of the local residents. A particular useful feature of this book is the extensive biographical information included. Almost a third of this book is devoted to biographical sketches for: Ashmore (2), Boykin, Clarke, Crawford (2), Curry, Dooly (3), Dunaway, Florence, Hogan (3), Hudson, Humphreys, Lamar (2), Lyon, Murray, Perryman, Smalley, Strother, Tutt, Ward, Ware and Zellars.
"The purpose of this work was to gather information, of genealogical interest, that is connected to Lincoln County, Tennessee, and to unite them all together here. I have scoured masses of old books, as well as other records, in search of anyone related to this area. This work consists mainly of biographical and genealogical sketches of Lincoln County ancestors. For ease of the reader they are arranged in alphabetical order. Aside from a few, they also conveniently sourced beneath the individual sketches."--Preface.

The 1864 Census for Re-organizing the Georgia Militia is a statewide census of all white males between the ages of 16 and 60 who were not at the time in the service of the Confederate States of America. Based on a law passed by the Georgia Legislature in December 1863 to provide for the protection of women, children, and invalids living at home, it is a list of some 42,000 men--many of them exempt from service--who were able to serve in local militia companies and perform such homefront duties as might be required of them. In accordance with the law, enrollment lists were drawn up by counties and within counties by militia districts. Each one of the 42,000 persons enrolled was listed by his full name, age, occupation, place of birth, and reason (if any) for his exemption from service. Sometime between 1920 and 1940 the Georgia Pension and Record Department typed up copies of these lists. Names on the typed lists, unlike most of the originals, are in alphabetical order, and it is these typed lists which form the basis of this new work by Mrs. Nancy Cornell. Checking the typed lists against the original handwritten records on microfilm in the Georgia Department of Archives & History, Mrs. Cornell was able to add some information and correct certain misspellings. She also points out that no lists were found for the counties of Burke, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Dooly, Emanuel, Irwin, Johnson, Pulaski, and Wilcox.
