FAMILIES OF CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
FROM
In 1861
the head of the household from many Lawrence County homes left their families
and went to war for the Confederate States of America. Many of the families
were left destitute. Lawrence County provided subsistence payments to families
considered to be truly in need.
On Monday, 1 December 1862 the governor of Arkansas, Harris Flanagin,
signed an act passed by the Arkansas legislature appropriating state money to
augment the money available for relief purposes in most of the counties in the
state. It was then required that the clerk of each county prepare a
"descriptive list" of the families of indigent Confederate soldiers.
