Civil War Records
Rabun Co., GA

Following is a list of records and other resources that the Civil War-era researcher might find useful in their search for information on a veteran's service in the War Between the States. Many of the records can be found in either the Courthouse in Clayton, Rabun Co., GA (in the Probate Judge's office), through the Georgia Department of Archives and History, or through the National Archives. If you are looking for a particular soldier but aren't sure exactly which unit he was in, try the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System.
