Honoring the legacy of the Madison County veterans that gave the ultimate sacrifice... Madison County answered the call to service and has left behind a generation of those who served in World War One and World War Two and lost their lives in service to the nation and freedom around the globe. This harrowing title covers the lives and stories of those service members.

"The late William Tuttle, one time Madison County Historian compiled a file of those Madison County veterans of the War of 1812 from various sources: pensions, claims against the State for clothing/equipment, etc. for which the individual soldier paid out of pocket; local sources such as cemetery inscriptions, newspaper items et al. The following list is taken from his file, now in the County Historian's office in the Madison County Courthouse in Wampsville, NY." This slender volume was originally published as Pipe Creek Publication's Early Settler Series: New York, No. 6. Entries are arranged alphabetically by surname. A bibliography completes this work.

Abstracted from newspapers filed in the archives of Colgate University, Hamilton, Madison County, New York. As vital records were not recorded in New York until after 1900, these abstracts help fill that void.
