SOLDIERS FROM LEE. 268
Soldiers from Lee, Penobscot County.
I\ rilK WAR OF 'II IE KlillELLIOX.
liV MAJiiK C. .1. HOrsK, AUGCSTA, MAINE.
The followinj^f is a complete list of Lcc men who served in
tlie late war. It inchules no residents of other towns who may
have gone to fill that town's quota but docs include all who
were actual residents of Lee at the time of their enlistment,
whether going for Lee or some other town. Keith and Moody
were Province men who were making their home there as labor-
ers. The fact that King was a resident of Lee has been ques-
tioned, but I have positive proof that he was living there with
his family six months at least before he enlisted and the further
fact that he was enrolled there as he was drafted from that town
a few months after enlistment. All the others were well known
old residents. The name, highest rank attained and the organ-
ization or organizations in which they served are given, an-d the
casualties, such as killed, wounded, died, prisoner or died in
prison are all noted. This list has been made with the utmost
care, not only by getting all the information possible from the
records at Augusta but by personal interviews in most cases
either with the soldier or his relatives and friends. I have been
personally acquainted with every man on the list excepting
Ilanscomb. Keith, Moody and Whitney.
N'oTK..— It may be well to add, the population of Lee in i860 was 937, the number
of polls was 231. The numher in above list is 109. Members of the P'irst Maine
Cavalry in the above list have their full record in the pages of their history as given.
