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. Transcribed by Jeff Jackson * I have added some notes.
