1863 Medical Exams

A - Br

Transcribed and submitted by John Austin

The following list shows the results of medical examinations carried out in the fall of 1862 as a prelude to the draft of July, 1863. The exams were performed in Malone, New York by Dr. Theodore Gay. Most of the men were from rhe northern towns of Franklin Co. The exact meaning of the initials "CR" and RC" is unknown, but they apparently mean that the man was fit for military duty. These are transcriptions of original physician notes which are in the possession of the Franklin Co. Historical Society in Malone.
