Civil War Registers
The New York town clerks kept a bound register of all soldiers serving from their town in the Civil War. Registers are alphabetical by county, then alphabetical by name of town. Not every town has a register that still exists. The registers include an index at the beginning of the start of a town record.

The originals of these registers are housed at the New York State Archives and Records Administration in Albany, New York. Microfilm copies of these registers are found. These Civil War town registers are also found at Ancestry.com($) and are indexed.

Many records include full name, residence, date and place of birth , parents names , marital status, date of enlistment and muster and rank, discharges, death , or promotion.

The Town Clerks registers for Clinton County include: Altona, Au Sable, Beekmantown, Black Brook, Champlain, Chazy, Dannemora, Ellenburgh, Mooers, Peru, Plattsburgh, Saranac, and Schuyler Falls.
