being, as farm hands or as mill operatives in Harrisville. On the list are the names of two who deserted, according to the official records. They were not properly to be reckoned as Dublin men. We know little or nothing concerning them, be- yond the records of their enlistments and desertions. They were strangers and adventurers, whose misdemeanors cannot di- minish the honor and glory which will ever be attached to the honorable record of the real Dublin soldiers, and cannot stain the honor of an excellent town of which they formed no part.
Thirty-two men were procured for the service, by the town, through the selectmen. Among them were as good men as could be found, but the average was much below that of the men who represented the old Dublin families. Of the thirty- two nine were deserters, two mysteriously disappeared, or, at least, there is no information concerning them, and another was under arrest for desertion, and absent, when his company was mustered out, and the official registers supply no further in- formation concerning him. These twelve men constitute a little more than thirty-seven per cent of the whole thirty-two. Others in the list had honorable records.

The preceding thirty-two men were not Dublin residents, properly speaking, and, with a few honorable exceptions, they did not measure up to the standard of Dublin men. More than a third of them deserted their regiments, others were inefficient, and less than a half-dozen proved to be first-class soldiers. This is no discredit to the town, which made the patriotic effort to procure them for the service.
In the draft of September 2, 1863, twenty-three men were drawn, and, in the draft of May 1864, four more men were drawn. The following thirteen men, all drawn in the former draft, were exempted: CHARLES H. HEALD, MELVILLE BOWERS, AARON SMITH, HARVEY J. WARE, CHARLES J. SMITH, LUKE F. RICHARDSON, JOSIAH M. DARLING, WILLIAM H. JONES, JOHN A. UPTON, COLLINS C. ROBBINS (who had formerly been a member of Co. G, 13th N. H. Vols .; see No. 53 in the soldier list), HENRY J. FARWELL, ALANSON HOLT (usually called Lan- son Holt), THOMAS MURRAY. One man, LYMAN P. BEAL, paid a commutation of $300.00. Another man, WILLIAM C. KEN- YON, deserted, or did not report for examination at the office of the provost marshall. The following eight men of the former draft furnished substitutes: DAVID W. KINSMAN, CHARLES H. SMITH, WILLIAM PARKER, JOEL FRANKLIN MASON, FRANCIS A. MORSE, CALVIN CLARK GOWING, HIRAM BARKER, and CHARLES W. FISKE. The following four men of the second draft

97. JAMES CUNNINGHAM, born in Canada, ae. 23, substitute for Benjamin F. Sherwin; mus. in, May 31, 1864, as a private, in the 6th N. H. Vols., but deserted, June 9, 1864, at New London, Conn., before he reached his regiment, and had not, of course, been assigned to any company.
98. GEORGE DANIELS, substitute for Calvin Clarke Gowing, was probably the George Daniels, formerly of Keene, who en- listed as a private in the Cheshire Light Guards, April 25, 1861, at Keene, but was discharged by order of the Governor, June 20, 1861. According to the manuscript list of the Dublin sol- diers, prepared by the town committee, in 1870, a George Dan- iels, probably the same man, was mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a private, in Co. F, 14th N. H. Vols. Neither Ayling's Register nor the history of the regiment makes any mention of such a man in the 14th regiment. Ayling alludes to the enlistment in 1861, which we have mentioned. The manuscript of the com- mittee notes that there was no account of this man. It is very likely that he disappeared before he had joined the company for which he was intended.
99. PATRICK HICKEY, born in Ireland, ae. 26, substitute for Hiram Barker; mus. in, Sept. 26, 1863, as a private, in Co. F, 14th N. H. Vols .; deserted, March 18, 1864, at New York City.

HISTORY OF DUBLIN
100. FRANCOIS LAPOINTE (in English Francis LaPoint), born in Canada, ae. 21, substitute for David W. Kinsman; mus. in, Sept. 26, 1863, as a private, in Co. H, 14th N. H. Vols .; mus. out, July 8, 1865.
101. WILLIAM H. MARBLE, native of Canada, ae. 26, sub- stitute for Cornelius K. Towne; mus. in, June 14, 1864, as a private, in Co. A, 9th N. H. Vols .; deserted, July 14, 1864, near Petersburg, Va .; gained from desertion, May 24, 1865; trans- ferred to Co. A, 6th N. H. Vols., June 1, 1865; mus. out, July 17, 1865.
102. PATRICK MCDERMOTT, born in Ireland, ae. 26, substi- tute for Francis A. Morse; mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a private, in Co. B, 5th N. H. Vols ;. wounded, June 16, 1864, near Peters- burg, Va .; wounded again, March 25, 1865, at Fort Stedman, Va .; discharged, June 27, 1865, at Philadelphia, Pa. After the war, he lived in Worcester, Mass.
103. WILLIAM STODDARD, born in Connecticut, ae. 21, sub- stitute for Evander French; mus. in, May 31, 1864, as a private, in Co. C, 6th N. H. Vols .; discharged for disability, July 10, 1865.
104. GEORGE SUMNER, born in New Jersey, ae. 21, substitute for Charles H. Smith; mus. in, Sept. 25, 1863, as a private, in Co. G, 14th N. H. Vols .; deserted, Nov. 4, 1863, at Washington, D. C.
105. GEORGE TRIPP was a substitute for Charles W. Fiske. Ayling's Register has no notice of any soldier who can be iden- tified with this George Tripp. He notes other George Tripps, who cannot possibly be the same as this man. The manuscript list of soldiers prepared by the Dublin town committee, in 1870, mentions the fact that such a person was the substitute for Mr. Fiske, but gives no further information. It cannot be that he joined any New Hampshire organization connected with the war, as there would have been some record of such a fact.
Of the preceding twelve substitutes six deserted, two are not noticed on the records, and four did faithful service.
Ten Dublin men patriotically volunteered to procure sub- stitutes for the army. They were: SAMUEL CARROLL DERBY (then a student, now a professor of Latin, in the Ohio State University, at Columbus, O.), ALFRED T. COLONY, GEORGE W. BEMIS, CHARLES W. GOWING, HENRY A. ADAMS, DAVID TOWNSEND, S. DANA BEMIS, SYLVESTER T. SYMONDS, GEORGE W. MASON, and JAMES APPLETON MASON.

107. PETER COOLUM (as the name is spelled on Ayling's Reg- ister), born in Canada, ae. 40, procured by CHARLES W. Gow- ING; enlisted and was mus. in, Aug. 11, 1864, as a private, in Co. H, 5th N. H.

Colored Troops; reported on the roll dated, Dec. 20, 1864, as sent to his regiment, but nothing more was heard of him.
110. JAMES HASSETT, born in Ireland, ae. 18, procured by DAVID TOWNSEND; enlisted and mus. in, Aug. 9, 1864, as a private, in Co. C, 5th N. H. Vols .; deserted, March 18, 1865, at Beverly, N. J. This account, taken from Ayling's Register, is doubtless authentic. It differs slightly from the account upon the town committee's manuscript.
