This series contains records of separation of service of Civil War soldiers from New Jersey regiments by discharge, resignation, desertion, death, or dismissal. The documents are organized into three groups: special orders, reports of resignations and discharges of officers, and miscellaneous items. Most of the lists provide the soldier's name, unit, rank, and date of separation from service; desertion lists usually also indicate the place of desertion. The reports of officers' discharges/resignations are mostly in the form of pre-printed War Department notices to the governor of New Jersey. NOTE: These records were originally in Civil War binder #213. |
