Registered List of VOTERS in Cedar Co., Mo.
For the year 1868
(Southwest Tribune, Oct 9, 1868)
To be a “registered” voter in 1868 Missouri, a
man had to also be a “qualified” voter. To be a
qualified voter, he had to take an oath that he’d
“always been truly and loyally on the side of the
United States against all enemies thereof, foreign
and domestic.” The oath also had a passage
about future allegiance.
When you see that a voter had been objected to,
someone was questioning his allegiance to the
Union. Having to be a qualified voter was meant
to keep ex-Confederate soldiers or rebel
sympathizers from voting. Therefore, not finding
your ancestor on the following voter list is not
proof that he wasn’t living in Cedar County in
1868
