Colonial. Georgia was founded to serve as a bulwark against the Castilian and French in the lands beyond the Carolinas, and as such, its men were called into service frequently during the colonial period. Unfortunately, few informative records remain to tell who was involved in what disharmonize. Murtie June Clark, Colonial Soldiers of the S, 1732'1774 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1983), lists soldiers who served prior to the Revolutionary War.
Revolutionary War. Georgia'due south total population in 1776 numbered less than 20,000 people, of whom peradventure iii,500 men were eligible for armed forces service when the Revolution began. Many of Georgia'due south soldiers were recruited from the Carolinas and Virginia; many were neutral or fought for the king. With some of the original service records for the Revolutionary War having been destroyed, information technology is hundred-to-one that a comprehensive list of Georgia veterans of this war exists. Georgia Revolutionary War rolls at the National Archives are published with other records in Robert S. Davis Jr., Georgia Citizens and Soldiers of the Revolution (Easley, S.C.: Southern Historical Press, 1979). See besides Allen D. Candler, The Revolutionary Records of the State of Georgia, three vols. (Atlanta: State Printer, 1906) and Mary B. Warren, Revolutionary Memoirs and Muster Rolls (Athens, Ga.: Heritage Papers, 1994). Abstracts of lost Revolutionary War alimony records are included, along with some files from wars every bit tardily as 1848, in National Athenaeum microfilm M1746 Final Revolutionary War Alimony Vouchers: Georgia, and in related National Archives records.

Bounty-land warrants were issued to soldiers who served in the Georgia military, civilian residents of 1781 and 1782, and Georgia citizens who went to other states during the Revolution to go on the war. Later on the state of war, soldiers who served in the Continental Line and others applied for a warrant and, when approved, received a document to be exchanged for a warrant. The land to be issued was in Georgia. See Marion R. Hemperley, Military Certificates of Georgia, 1776'1800 (Atlanta: Georgia Surveyor Full general Department, 1983) and Mary B. Warren, Georgia'southward Revolutionary War Compensation Land Records (Athens, Ga.: Heritage Papers, 1992). The original records are in the Georgia Archives.
Indian Wars (1784'1811, 1815'38); Mexican War (1845'48). Georgia supplied thousands of soldiers for various federal campaigns. The tens of thousands of genealogically significant bounty and pension files are in the National Archives (run into page 11). Louise F. Hays, comp., Georgia Military Affairs, 1775'1842, 9 vols. (n.p., 1940), includes indexed, unpublished typescripts from the Georgia Archives that cover the broader period beyond the Revolution. This collection is an excellent people-finder and census substitute and supplement. Gordon B. Smith has begun the publication of an ongoing series of histories of the Georgia militia that includes biographical data on thousands of Georgians associated with the country'south early military.
War of 1812. Information included in service records for the War of 1812 is similar to that in the same records of soldiers in the colonial wars and Revolutionary State of war. Run into also Judy Kratovil, An Index to War of 1812 Service Records for Volunteer Soldiers of Georgia (Atlanta: the author, 1986). The National Archives records (come across page 11) from which Kratovil's book is taken represents roughly ane-fifth of the males of military machine age in Georgia during the War of 1812.
