CONFEDERATE INDIGENT FAMILIES

1863 - 1865

JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS

Researched by Virginia Hale

 

Hood County was organized and created from Johnson County and a small portion of Erath County in 1866. Somervell County was created from Hood County and Bosque County in 1875.

On November 24, 1863, the Texas Legislature passed a Joint Resolution stating the government pledged "support and maintenance of [the soldiers'] families during their absence from home." In accordance with this Resolution, the "Act to Support the Families and Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 16, 1863. The Act set aside $1 million annually to be paid to the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers currently serving in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or disabled in service." Each Chief Justice of a Texas county, on or before March 1st in 1864 and 1865, submitted lists of soldiers and the number of their dependents eligible for relief. The County Clerk administered the money distributed to the county.

The information submitted varied somewhat from each county. While the numbers of dependents were always given, additional information might include: soldier's name; if currently in service; disabled or killed in service; military unit; acting head of household.

The original Confederate Indigent Families Lists (1863-1865) are located at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) in Austin, Texas. An on-line search can be performed by county or surname. However, additional information is not available on-line. In order to preserve the original documents, TSLAC recommends utilizing the book Confederate Indigent Families Lists of Texas 1863-1865, transcribed by Linda Mearse, that can be obtained by interlibrary loan.
