RESULTS OF THE 1ST CIVIL WAR DRAFT LOTTERY IN SCHOHARIE COUNTY

(Source: The Bloomville Mirror, October 16, 1863 p.3 c.3. Transcribed from NYSHA microfilm.)

Transcribed by Linda Robinson

NOTE: That given what I've read about the lottery experience in Delaware Co. most of the men listed here likely did NOT go to war for a variety of reasons including payment of a commutation, furnishing a substitute, parental objection, being the only son of aged or infirmed parents, being over 35 and married, having 2 brothers in the army; being physically or mentally unfit for duty, being under 20 yrs., being enlisted, being discharged from army since March 3d, being the father of a motherless child or being that the quota had been met through volunteers filling the ranks.
