CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS OF MONKTON, VERMONT
1861 - 1865
Introduction
This listing of Monkton soldiers who served in the American Civil War has three sections. The
first section lists all the soldiers who are included in the “Roster of Vermonters” as residents of
Monkton at the time of service. The second section lists those soldiers who served from other
locations at the time of service but are buried in Monkton cemeteries. The third section lists
soldiers born in Monkton who were residents of other towns and states at the time of service.
This third listing is very small and reflects the discovery of this information during other
research on Monkton Civil War soldiers. Names are alphabetical by regiment and company. A
complete alphabetical index is included.
This listing of Monkton soldiers was prepared from information from the following two sources:
Roster of Vermonters Who Served in the Civil War 1861 – 1865, prepared and republished under
direction of Martha T. Rainville, the Adjutant General, Camp Johnson, Colchester, VT, 1998
Vermont Veterans Graves Card File at the Vermont Historical Society Library, Barre, VT
