Town and city registers of men who served in the Civil War, [ca. 1865-1867]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77863013

This series consists of bound registers containing printed forms completed by hand by town clerks throughout New York State. Chapter 690 of the Laws of 1865 required each town clerk, upon receiving suitable blanks from the chief of the State's Bureau of Military Record, "to make out a full and complete record of the names of all the soldiers and officers who composed his town's quotas of the troops furnished to the United States" during the Civil War. One copy of the record was to be filed with the Bureau of Military Record and another was to "be preserved among the records of the town."

It is unclear exactly how these volumes came into the State's possession. They may have been forwarded to the Adjutant General who in turn transferred them to the State Library; the State Library then transferred the volumes to the State Archives in the spring of 1978.
