Source: HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY WI
Since citizens of Lafayette County were eager to serve in defense of the Union, recruiting began early. Of course there were those who did not support the cause, and, as a result, a secret organization called the "Knights of the Golden Circle", vowing to resist the draft, was organized in June, 1862.
The Union League was organized to fight the doctrines of the "Knights" and uphold the law.
In the fall of 1862, the draft was issued for nine months' service. In 1862,
the following Deputy Sheriffs were appointed to enroll able-bodied men in
their respective districts:
John B. Schofield, Wayne;
John Adams, Monticello;
M. Crawford, Kendall;
John O'Toole, White Oak Springs;
Dennis Murphy, Benton;
E.W.Jennan, Gratiot;
James Noble, Willow Springs;
T.C.L. Mackay, Elk Grove,
James Harker, New Diggings;
Furness Lambert, Argyle;
John Cline, Fayette;
John Barry, Shullsburg;
James Wood, Wiota;
Walter E. Jones, Belmont;
Luke Ager, Centre.
The drafted men reported to the Ellison House, in Darlington, to be registered
by Judge Blackstone, a Draft Commissioner. The contingent, under charge of
Lance Sergeant P.F. Dering, arrived in Madison with 80 odd men from Lafayette
County. After inspection, a large percentage was rejected, with the remainder
procuring substitutes which could be bought for $100 to $200.
Because draft resistors were still causing trouble in the sparsely populated section of the county,in July, 1863, Major Clowney, with Companies A and B, Twenty-ninth Wisconsin Infantry, were detailed from Madison to assist the Provost Marshall in enforcing the draft in the district between Benton, Shullsburg, and New Diggings. When the 1863 draft was ordered, the town of New Diggings proposed to give a bonus of $60 to each of the first five men to enlist. R.H. Champion contributed $300 for that purpose , as well as George Leekley who contributed a similar amount to the next five volunteers.
During the draft troubles of 1863, a "home Guard" was organized at New Diggings to maintain law and order. The existence of the company was short because ranks were depleted by enlistments into the Federal Army. The muster-roll filed with the County Clerk gives the official membership of La Fayette Guard, organized in New Diggings in August, 1863, as follows; Captain, Wm. Bird; First Lieutenant, John Harker; Second Lieutenant, Charles B. Champion; Orderly Sergeant, M.J.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This concludes the roster for Lafayette Co. in the HISTORY OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY WI 1881. I have stated in each issue ['ANCESTRAL DIGGIN'S ' quarterly newsletter] that this has been my source. As with most things, there are mistakes in this history but I cannot correct the source. Some of you have written about ancestors who were left off the list or misspelled names. The only thing I can do is first check the source to see if I made a mistake and then print your letter in the newsletter to inform our readers that there have been mistakes and omissions in the source. Thanks for the comments I have received. Many of you seemed to have enjoyed this series. If anyone else has corrections or want to share the information about your ancestor from Lafayette Co. who participated in the Civil War, write and I'll be glad to include it in a future newsletter.
