Most of the men whose names are enrolled here were never citizens of Clinton. Our town, like other towns of Massachusetts, received its proportionate credit for men who entered service on the "Ohio" and other receiving ships sta- tioned in the harbors of the state. If these men should become incapable of self-support before they secure a legal residence elsewhere, Clinton would be responsible for their maintenance on account of this service. The proportion of our town was forty-one years' service, or twenty-two men with terms varying from one to three years. The names of these are starred. In addition to these, there are eight oth- ers entered on this list, either because they were citizens of Clinton or claimed on our quota by town authorities :
