TO 1865 · THE 1862 ENROLLMENT LIST IS THE TOWNSHIP'S ONE MILITIA DOCUMENT

No militia company ever raised in or seated in this township is named in any carrier reached — what exists is a list of its men. The 1862 Indiana Volunteer Militia Enrollment List, in its Liberty Township pages, was taken under Commissioner Thomas S. Stanfield and survives in the Indiana Archives (transcribed through FromThePage): the township's able-bodied men, enumerated for the state's militia machinery at the Civil War's opening. That list is the township's one militia document, and it is an enrollment, not a company — the township's enrolled men scattered into county companies when they served, which is why the wars file's township draws are county regiments (the 29th, the 151st, the 138th, the 4th Cavalry, the 21st Battery) and never a North Liberty company. The Civil War enrollment that followed, and Row's September 1864 draft, are proven from the banked biographies; the banked conflict C57 turns on that draft and stands in the register as printed, carried here by pointer and not re-opened.

Indiana Archives, 1862 Volunteer Militia Enrollment List, Liberty Township pages (FromThePage transcription); Chapman (1880) and Howard (1907) as banked; conflict C57 as banked.
