In Response To: Re: 109th Georgia Militia ()

You should ask at the Georgia State Archives.

Unlike an actual military command, most militia organizations were strictly based on men who lived within certain boundaries. In other words, you didn't enlist -- you just happened to live there. Elections were held for militia officers, and they were supposed to assemble and drill on a regular schedule. Very little of this happened during the war.

Anyone eligible for militia duty in Georgia should be listed on the January 1864 census.
