Cindy,
Yes, this would be real intersting to know if this was something they
had to do.

I ran across a list labelled as follows:
"A list of able bodied white male citizens of Johnson
county, State of Iowa, between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years subject to military duty, as
taken by the assessor of said County for the year
1848."
Was this an order of the Federal government.... that
every County in the Nation prepare a list of males of
said age?
If so, it seems such a "list" might be of some help to
researchers.... it would serve as an 1848 census index
(of sorts).
Perhaps someone with experience in military history
will know the answer.
