CIVIL WAR VOLUNTEERS FROM WARREN |
This listing of Warren soldiers was transcribed for us by Laura Perkins from "The History of Herkimer County, N.Y." by F.W. Beers & Co., 1879. Like the Town of Stark soldiers' list, it shows the sizeable number of regiments and individual companies Warren's men joined. The editors did not put the men's names in any particular order and the original listings have been alphabetized for browsing convenience.
"The record of Warren's citizens' participation in the suppression of the Rebellion was prepared by the town clerk as required by law, and is appended; the abbreviations indicate each man's rank and the arm of the service to which he belonged."

Warren's volunteer list was typed by Laura Perkins, who had a number of direct ancestors and relatives serving in the war from upstate New York. Laura is researching the family names of SNYDER and BAKER. "My ggg-grandparents were Richard K. and Elizabeth Snyder Baker. Richard was born in Schuyler and Elizabeth was born in Frankfort. Elizabeth was the daughter of John and Catherine Snyder. I believe Richard and Eliz lived in Utica, NY for most of their life. Any information on them would be most helpful." .
Note: Neither Laura or other Herkimer/Montgomery GenWeb volunteers have any further information about the men listed above. If you find your ancestor listed, his records can be ordered from the National Archives.
