Substitutes & Drafted Soldiers

Drafted & Substitutes

    This is the list of Substitutes. The reason I decided to add this list here is very simple. Some of your ancestors might have been drafted or might have volunteered to be Substitute for another soldier.

    For many personal reasons Civil War Soldiers that were drafted and could not go to war could hire another to go in their place.

    This worked some of the times. It was abused by those wishing to defraud others and collect the Bounty. In some cases they would collect the money, report to the recruiting center then dissapear without a trace.

    This list is still under construction so please be patient as I gather the names together. If you have any links, info or names to add please let me know.
