Regiments in which men from Westerlo served
7th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery
There were at least 24 men from Westerlo who served in the 7th Regiment. Some of the Regiments major battle were at Petersburg, Cold Harbor, Weldon Station, Spotsylvania. Three of the men from Westerlo were killed in battle, or later died of their wounds. Seven were wounded. Six were captured, five of whom died in prison of their wounds, starvation or disease.
Click here for more about the 7th Regiment and a listing of the men from the Hilltowns who served in it.
Westerlo men who joined the Union Army
We are trying to collect information for a book on Hilltown men who were in the Civil War. The information is being posted here in their biographies in preparation for writing the book. While we have volunteers adding information little by little, it will still only be what information they can glean from public records. We are encouraging family researchers to post additional information on each of these men: photographs, obituaries, copies of letters home, pictures of headstones, memorabilia, etc. We hope to publish the book in 2011, the 150th anniversary of the start for the war. If you know more about any of them, if would be a fitting tribute to them if you would also create a biography of them. Until then, the only thing we can share with viewers of this page is their name.
Biography
We would like to start a biography for each of these people with the basic data about their military service and anything else you care to add under one or more of the following categories as appropriate:
