The first official expenditure by the county occurred in the summer and fall of 1862. As already shown, the Military Finance Committee, Saxon B. Gavitt, Eron N. Thomas and Stephen K. Williams, presented bills which were audited to the amount of $3,210.14.

* The town expended this sum upon the relief of soldiers' families, and not for bounties. It is very creditable to the energy and patriotism of the people of Ontario that they filled their quotas without resorting to the heavy taxation that other towns felt obliged to impose. The voluntary subscriptions were large, and were sufficient with the County Bounty to meet every emer- gency.

VOLUNTEER SUBSCRIPTIONS AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE WAR, 1861 .-- In a few towns there were definitely reported in the newspapers of that year. But in most of them we have only estimates, some of them scarcely more than an uncertain "guess." Letters of enquiry addressed to prominent men of each town have failed to bring out the facts. We state the estimates as follows:
* Support of soldiers' families.
t It appears that private effort was sufficient to fill the quotas of 1864, in Walworth aided only by the Bounty which the County paid.

VOLUNTEER SUBSCRIPTIONS IN 1862 .- These were of considerable amount. The county had offered to issue bonds and loan them to such towns as desired them. This did not, however, preclude private subscriptions. Later in the war official appropriations superseded almost wholly private liberality, but this latter was continued through 1862. As before only a part of the facts appear in the newspapers of that year. In most of the towns named below the amounts are only estimated ; judging somewhat from the known work in other towns, comparison by population, the amounts raised the year before, &c., &c. :

VALUE OF SUPPLIES RAISED BY LADIES' AID SOCIETIES .- There is no way of obtaining anything definite upon this branch of the subject ; nothing but an estimate can be made, and that only of a vague and unsatisfactory character. There was a wealth of love, devotion, and self-sacrifice in the work which is beyond the compass of any arithme- tic. If we had the exact figures they would tell but a fraction of the truth. The following is only a general approximation based upon a few newspaper items and upon letters from several towns already given :

This statement does not include money paid in 1863 by individuals as commutation at $300 each ; nor sums paid by individuals in 1864 for substitutes over and above what was reimbursed to them in town and county bonds ; nor moneys raised to avoid draft in the Spring of 1865, or for procuring substitutes under that draft. The record, though not complete, will, however, tell its own story to all future ages, of the patriotism of the County of Wayne in the great battle-storm of the Republic. The figures, though silent, are eloquent. Wayne County expended in the defense of the Union A MILLION AND A HALF OF MONEY.
[No. 10.]
As to the total number of men who went from this county into the armies of the Union during the war of 1861-5, we will here give simply

LIST OF VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS.
the summary of the town list found in Appendix A. These include quite a number of soldiers now residing in the county who were not here during the war, and who enlisted from other places. Some names are also undoubtedly repeated as it has been found extremely difficult to determine in all cases whether similar names belonged to the same or to different persons. The number which may be in excess from both these sources will probably only be a fair offset to Wayne County names not obtained, because with all the labor given to these catalogues it is not presumed that they are absolutely complete :

Allowing for names repeated and for sons of Wayne County who enlisted elsewhere but are counted in these lists, and for soldiers settled here since the war-many of whom are also mentioned-it is safe to say that in round numbers WAYNE COUNTY FURNISHED FIVE THOUSAND SOLDIERS FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE UNION.
