Enrollment of the Militia of Lampasas County
c. 1875
Compiled by Jeff Jackson
        The following list of names was found in an old vault in the
Lampasas County Courthouse which is used to store the older
District Court Records.  This document was not dated but it can be
deduced from birth dates recorded on the list and the death dates of
several of the men listed, that this list was made about 1875.  The
original list was not in perfect alphabetic order.
