The War Records of Connecticut do not give the places from which the Militia and Volunteers came, so it is impossible to tell exactly how many New Milford men participated in the war. The names of Baldwin, Barnes, Bartholomew, Bassett, Beech, Buck, Buell, Bostwick, Booth, Canfield, Comstock, Noble, Starr, Taylor, Turrill, and many other New Milford names are upon the rolls, but just how many are to be credited to the town it is impossible to say. THE MEXICAN WAR The names of the men from New Milford who served in the Mexican War, taken from the rolls of the Adjutant General’s office, were: Henry Burrhants, Sherman Crosby, Albert Morey, Abner M. Philips, Ruben W. Phillips, Warren S. Tenbrok, James Schemmerhorn. Two other men from the town were, I believe, in that war: Henry Soul, son of John Soul, who lived at the point of Buck’s Rocks, and Charles Ford, who afterwards served in the war of 1861.
