Background
The following was transcribed from a paper-covered
manuscript in the Town Clerk's Office of Woodstock,
entitled "COMPLETE RECORD, As Required by
Chapter 690, of the Laws of 1865, Relating To
Officers. Soldiers and Seamen, Composing the
Quotas of the Troops Furnished to The United
States, by the Town of Woodstock, County of
Ulster, State of New York, In the War of the
Rebellion, and covering the period from the 15th
day of April, 1861, to the date of the certificate of
the Town Clerk, attached to this record. Prepared
by Edgar Snyder, Town Clerk." (The certificate, on
the last page of the volume, is dated 1865. No day
or month is noted.)
The records below are of special value for the information they provide about Woodstockers serving during the time of the Civil War. They are also of important value because of the additional information relating to the dates and places of their births and deaths, the battles in which they fought, and the names of their parents. The listing below has been transcribed in alphabetical order and every care has been taken to present all facts given in the original manuscript. Notes in brackets have been added from other sources, when available, to complete or correct some statements. Much of the original transcription was completed by Louise H. Zimm. Digital transcription was been completed in 2004 by Eliza Heppner and Richard Heppner, Woodstock Town Historian.
