123rd New York Volunteer Infantry

The town of Kingsbury, like the other towns of the county, went early to work to raise her quota under the President's call for 300,000 troops, July 1st, 1862. Guy W. Clark, A. Freeman, G.I. Stone, Jr., Walden E. Richards and A. F. Hitchcock were appointed a committee to assist in enlisting troops in the town, and George W. Warren was appointed captain of the company to be raised. This success in raising the company is shown in the fact that it was the second to report to Salem, with 88 men, and took the second in rank, "B." The bounty paid by the County to Co. B was $4400. Each man also received $50 from the state.
