The names of these twenty-four substitutes, to- gether with thirteen others furnished by the town, all being non-residents and principally aliens, are omitted.
In giving the names of the soldiers, it has been my purpose to give the names of those who were resi- dents of this town, a few of which were credited to other towns.
At the close of the war this town was credited at the adjutant-general's office with twelve men more than its full quota under all the calls for soldiers during the war, and it was claimed that twenty-one men more than its quota had been furnished, after allowing all due credits to other towns.
The whole number of enlistments credited to Hud-
son by the adjutant-general was one hundred and thirty-five.
Amount of bounty paid by the town to soldiers, a' part of which was afterwards reimbursed by the State and United States, thirty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-five dollars.
October 14, 1861, the town elected Hiram Marsh, Gilman Andrews and Stephen D. Greeley a committee to relieve the families of soldiers, and instructed that committee to pay not exceeding one dollar a week each for the wives, children and parents dependent upon soldiers serving in the army from this town or such as may hereafter enlist.
This committee paid for the relief of such families during the war upwards of seven thousand dollars, which was reimbursed by the State.
At the beginning of the war, April 24, 1861, at a citizens' meeting, held at the town-house, the amount of two hundred and twenty-three dollars was sub- scribed and paid for the purpose of furnishing volun- teers who had enlisted with necessary outfits, in addi- tion to such as were furnished by the government.
On the 29th of October of the same year, at another meeting of the citizens, the Hudson Soldiers' Aid Society was organized, and was continued in active and successful operation till the close of the war.
The president of this society was Addison Heald ; its secretary, Mrs. Nancy B. Merrill ; and its treas- urer, Mrs. Addison Heald; with an executive com- mittee composed of ten ladies, one from each school district,-Mrs. Thomas Gowing, Mrs. Luther Pollard, Mrs. Samuel Morrison, Miss Mary Buttrick, Mrs. D. M. Greeley, Mrs. Oliver Hill, Mrs. David Seavey, Mrs. Robert A. Andrews, Mrs. J. E. Greeley and Mrs. James M. Greeley.
This society contributed, collected, bought material and manufactured and forwarded to the soldiers, in large quantities, articles of necessity and comfort, such as comfortable clothing, bedding, lint, bandages, dried fruits, comforts for the sick and wounded in the hospitals and necessaries for the use and convenience of the men in the field and camp.
These contributions were greatly appreciated by the soldiers at the front, and did much to relieve their sufferings and add to their scanty comforts.

Until 1741 the town was supposed to be wholly in Massachusetts, and was under the laws and jurisdic- tion of that State ; but upon the settlement of the province line in that year, the town was divided, and the greater part fell within the limits of New Hamp- shire, and Nottingham in this State became a district, and remained as such until 1746. There is no record of any town or district meeting from November 22, 1741, to August 9, 1743, at which last meeting the first district officers were elected.
