Schoharie County, New York
in the Civil War
The following is taken from Third Annual Report of the Bureau
of Military Statistics of the State of New York, Albany: [The Bureau],
(C. Wendell), 1866.
The feeling in this county towards the support of the government in the conduct
of the war, was stirred by individual exertions at once made to raise men.
Hiram A. Blodget, Captain of company D in the Fortieth regiment New York
Militia, residing at Middleburgh, went to Albany about the 17th day of April,
1861,
and procured enlistment papers from the Adjutant-General He enlisted 28 men
belonging to his own company, but as the number was not sufficient to form
a company, according to the requirements of the Adjutant-General, and as
the Thirty-eighth regiment of two years men called for by the President was
all
filled before he succeeded in enlisting the requisite number, six of his
then went to the city of Albany and enlisted there ; the balance of the men
remained
at Middleburgh, and finally enlisted in company I; Seventy-sixth regiment
New York volunteers.
S. H. Mix, residing at Schoharie, in May, 1861, went io Washington to obtain
permission to raise a regiment of cavalry, and after meeting with considerable
opposition, as to the policy of raising any cavalry regiments, he finally
succeeded in obtaining the authority of the President and Secretary of
War, to recruit
a regiment, with the understanding that it should be under the command
of Colonel Van Alen, Mr. Mix to hold the position of Lieu-tenant -Colonel.
The
regiment
(the celebrated 3d N. Y. Cavalry) was raised in no small part by the untiring
exertions of Mr. Mix. The regiment was composed mainly of companies raised
in different portions of the State, one of which was recruited, in whole
or part, in Schoharie county.
The following tables are taken from Fourth Annual Report of the Bureau
of Military Statistics of the State of New York, Albany: Week, Parsons
& Co., 1867.
