Scope and Content Note
These two volumes record the names, ages, and occupations of men liable to military duty who lived in Tonawanda and Buffalo's first ward.
The registers also note those individuals who were exempt from the enrollment due to occupation, age, mental capacity, physical fitness, or present military status. The enrollments were made pursuant to General Order No. 67, 1862 and filed in the Adjutant General's Office in September (for Tonawanda) and October (Buffalo), 1862. The location of enrollment registers for the rest of the state is unknown.
