The Civil War: The Volunteers and Draftees of Lisbon Township
The Wisconsin Regiments that men from Sussex/Lisbon fought in are listed below along with biographical information for some of the individual soldiers (click on soldier's name hyperlink). Note: Some of the men listed below have not been identified as being from the Sussex/Lisbon area, and there are others not yet identified as being a member of a particular regiment and company. Also be aware that many Wisconsin volunteers and draftees may have been in other state regiments to begin with or assigned to other regiments due to later reorganization during the war. In addition, many don't have their residence listed or it's listed as "Waukesha Co.". It does not comprise all soldiers the Town of Lisbon furnished, as some, enticed by large bounties, enlisted in other portions of the State, and were credited, of course, to the localities where they signed the roll. Only one individual is listed as being from Lake Five, none indicated Sussex as their residence, most listed Lisbon (the Town of).
Much of the information below was found in Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865, Vols. 1. and 2., Madison, Wisconsin, Democrat Printing Company, State Printers, 1886.; and in The History of Waukesha County, 1881
. There were no individuals listed at the end of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865, Vol. 2., that enlisted in or were drafted in a U.S. Regiment but were credited to living in the Town of Lisbon. Furthermore, no "colored" soldiers or disabled (in the Reserves) are listed as being from the township.
Throughout the War, death from disease, often took a greater toll in the Wisconsin Regiments than did death caused by wounds received in battle. Many soldier died of an unspecified disease.
Information is listed by regiment and company, then last recorded rank of the soldier, if no rank is indicated, it is assumed they were Privates. Muster In and Out (discharged) dates may be included as well as brief service engagement info. Check the Alphabetical Listing by Surname if you can't find an individual, it may contain additional information not in the Regiment/Company listings. More information about the volunteers, draftees, and exemptions in the Alphabetical Listing by Surname section Regimental history may be included here or on another web page.

I have been on somewhat of a personal mission to correct his military history records which were done so by by the following:
You can check this at the Wisconsin State Historical Society. Here is an excerpt of their hearing:
For years Patrick was troubled by
his apparent listing as a deserter and this came to issue in 1896 when he
applied for military benefits and to live in the Wisconsin State Veterans Home
in
Patrick provided documentation that actually went to the Department of the
Navy and then to Congress which removed the desertion charges and provided him
with an honorable discharge in 1898. In
the committee hearings the following was transcribed:
In addition to the foregoing House report, the committee gives an extract from
a private letter, written by James Murray of
“I was one of the line officers in the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin.
You were another. My
company was H. Now to business.
A man whose name is Patrick Hanley enlisted upon the occasion of the
organization of the Twenty-eighth from Merton or Lisbon and chose company H to
go in; Went to Camp Washburn with the rest of us, mustered, drilled, and on
the whole was a good soldier, no way disorderly, and was, I verily believe
never reprimanded by any of his superior officers.
He went home; we marched the next day; he failed to get back in time;
he followed us to
Of course most of this has been told me after we got home, by him.
I know this however, while we were in camp in Mobile (AL probably
March/1865), one of my men came to me one day and said: “Patrick Hanley is
down on board of a gunboat and expressed a desire to see us, but said that I
would have him arrested as a
deserter, and that he had seen about as much service as any of the
Twenty-eighth, he would not like to be arrested.
As the war was about winding up I forbore to send for him.
Well, of course, he reported as a deserter and the muster-out rolls so
reported him. It seems that he
not long since found it out. He
writes that he is seeking to get the disgrace effaced on account of his
children. I sympathize with the
boy (Patrick was 52!) particularly in that respect.
Congressman Cook of
While Hanley might have persevered in his attempt to overtake the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin and thus avoided the charge of desertion, we think that his conduct in seeking to enlist in the Mercantile Battery[1], and enlisting and serving a year in the Navy, shows that he was not endeavoring to avoid the service of his country and the committee report the bill back with a recommendation that it do pass.
[1] The Chicago Mercantile Battery was one of the most renowned artillery units in the Civil War.
Please let me know if I can provide further information.

He went into Camp Washburn, at Milwaukee, with his regiment in the month of September. The regiment remained in Camp Washburn until the 20th day of December, when they were called south.
The entries in his diary were made daily, and the different moods and feelings in his life are exhibited in his daily entries. He dropped his pen on the 28th day of July, 1863, and the pages thereafter are blank. He died of malarial fever on the 21st day of August, 1863, and his body is buried on the bluffs back of Helena, Arkansas. His diary was sent home by his comrades, and the original diary is now in the possession of his brother, Joseph E. Wildish, of Milwaukee, Wis., who prizes it as a treasure of great value.
Charles H. Wildish had a host of friends in and out of the army. His genial manner and winning ways endeared him to all who knew him. The entries in his diary show something of his thought and character, and on and between the lines can be read the joys and sorrows of a soldier's life.
These lines were printed in the 28th Regiment's reunion booklet for the year 1900. After the War, his body was removed to the military cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee.
Pvt. Edmond Wilkins; Co. A, 28th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry
Edmond Wilkins was born 2 May 1843 in Dorchester, County of Dorchester, England. He was one of eleven children. He arrived in Canada on his birthday in 1859, arriving at Montreal, Canada, and in 1860 relocated to the Village of Waukesha, Wisconsin. In 1862 he moved to the Town of Lisbon, six miles north of Waukesha.
On 12 February 1864, Wilkins enlisted as a Recruit in Company A, 28th Regiment, Wisconsin Vol. Infantry, going to Camp Randall in Madison, and from there joining the 28th Regiment at Pine Bluff, Arkansas in April 1864.
While on a march Pvt. Wilkins became sun struck and was in the hospital and on sick list for some three months.
On 22 February 1865 the Regiment was ordered to Mobile, Ala., going by boat down the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers. While crossing the Gulf on the old flat-bottomed boat Belvedere they ran into a severe storm and thought it was the last, but soon arrived safe and sound at Fort Morgan on Mobile Bay. There they were ordered to Spanish Fort to take part in its capture, and were under fire for 13 days. From the noise of the bombardment, Pvt. Wilkins was made deaf in his right ear.
After the capture of Spanish Fort the Regiment was ordered to Texas and was discharged at Brownsville, Tex., August 23d, 1865 and ordered home.
Edmond Wilkins joined Wm. B. Cushing Post No. 19, Department of Wisconsin, December 12th, 1890, and held the offices of Junior Vice Commander, Senior Vice Comander, Officer of Guard.
He is buried at Prairie Home Cemetery in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

28th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Company "Q"
|
Like most regiments, the 28th Wisconsin was divided into ten companies,
each given a letter designation of A through K (the letter "J"
was not used). During post-war regimental reunions, "Company
Q" was the name coined for the group of friends or relatives who
were accepted as honorary members of the regimental society.

". . . I am chairman of a committee appointed two years ago to consider the matter of perpetuation of this organization (the Society of the 28th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry) through the sons of the first generation. The committee has met informally, never had a regular committee meeting; but we deem it impossible to do anything except by way of increasing Company Q. I think every last one of us is united in the thought of keeping up this organization as long as there is a single member of the old 28th left. We are afraid when the last member passes away the organization will go. The younger generation cannot have the same spirit because we were not, like you, for four years at the front . . . I do not see how this organization can be perpetuated. The 28th is too good to live after it is dead". |

Alphabetical Listing by Surname
of (127) Volunteers and Draftees
When war was declared, Town of Lisbon Union volunteers were called on to meet the challenge. After April 20, 1861, the enthusiasm ran high, and there being just one Waukesha County recruiting office at first, large numbers of men enlisted in Milwaukee and adjoining counties, no one being aware at the time that the county would need all the men she could spare to fill her own quota and avoid a draft. The same is true that some men probably enlisted in Townships other than their own because the Town of Lisbon recruiting office wasn't setup as quickly as others. (Note: Henry Phillips was appointed April 20, 1861 to the 1st Waukesha County Central Committee, from the Town of Lisbon, to receive subscriptions and push on war measures. Subscriptions were monetary pledges by Waukesha County citizens to provide all needful assistance to the families of those who may enlist in their country's service, during their term of enlistment. Later pledges were made to furnish wood, meat, flour, and provisions to soldier's wives and children. Men offered houses free of rent; physicians offered medical attendance free of charge. Unfortunately, in December, a large number of subscribers refused to pay their assessments. This brought a storm of letters from soldiers, who complained bitterly. Source: History of Waukesha County, 1881))
The first draft of men from the Town of Lisbon began in the Waukesha County Court House on Monday, November 10, 1862; from it 29 were drafted and 32 exemptions (the Examining Surgeon opened his office in Waukesha on September 1, 1862) were given. Some men may have simply "skedaddled" to Canada. The September 1862 quota of men for the town was 78; the draft filled the quota that volunteers couldn't fill. The Conscription Act gave drafted men the same bounties as volunteers. The date a man mustered in or enlisted may indicate whether he volunteered or was drafted.
In the summer of 1863, Wisconsin responded to President Lincoln's call for troops by requiring men between the ages of 18 and 45, who had not already enlisted in the volunteer force, to be enrolled in the state militia.
County commissioners were appointed to oversee this enrollment with lists being created for each township. Once the lists were complete, claims of disability and conscientious objection could be made, with objectors being allowed to pay $200 to "commute their obligation". Others considered exempt included telegraph operators, skilled workers in gun factories, engineers and firemen on the railroads, and ministers; however, many of these men may have volunteered.
The actual draft from this listing occurred on November 12, 1863 in the United States Court room in Milwaukee (since the Waukesha County Draft Commissioner was abolished); the Town of Lisbon was required to provide 24 men. (Note: During the week before October 13, 1863 [Waukesha Freeman], the Waukesha County Central Committee met and named several Town of Lisbon persons to form a committee to co-operate in organizing the Town's Union men for political purposes, and to counteract the treason uttered and taught by copperhead speakers and papers throughout the County. They were George Cairncross, Richard Cooling, and William Small. Note: In May, 1863, George Cairncross was appointed to make the enlistment roll quota in the Town of Lisbon. He was to discover and record the number of men fit for military duty. Source: The History of Waukesha County, 1881.)
Many of the names under the Aug 1863 Wisconsin State Militia Enrollment are there for this reason; they may not have served during the war years. These surnames, from published listings in the Waukesha Freeman, dated August 4, 1863 and August 11, 1863, are preceded by an asterisk (*), but no entry has been found in either volume of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865.
Another draft was held on Friday, September 23, 1864 (also in Milwaukee), but the Town of Lisbon's quota was filled by all volunteers this time. The last draft was in February 1865; Lisbon's quota was 22 men, but a few weeks later, General Lee surrendered to end the Civil War. The date a man mustered in or enlisted may indicate whether he volunteered or was drafted.
Surnames preceded by a question mark (?) are those individuals cited by The History of Waukesha County, 1881 as being in a particular Regiment, but no entry has been found in either volume of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865. Those that have been located have additional information provided; some indicate that their place of residence wasn't the Town of Lisbon. There may be several reasons for these differences.

Aug 1863 Wisconsin State Militia Enrollment
Many of the names here may not have served during the war years. These surnames, from published listings in the Waukesha Freeman, dated August 4, 1863 and August 11, 1863, are preceded by an asterisk (*), but no entry has been found in either volume of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865.
In the summer of 1863, Wisconsin responded to President Lincoln's call for troops by requiring men between the ages of 18 and 45, who had not already enlisted in the volunteer force, to be enrolled in the state militia.
County commissioners ( Note: In May, 1863, George Cairncross was appointed to make the enlistment roll quota in the Town of Lisbon. He was to discover and record the number of men fit for military duty. Source: The History of Waukesha County, 1881.) were appointed to oversee this enrollment with lists being created for each township. Once the lists were complete, claims of disability and conscientious objection could be made, with objectors being allowed to pay $200 to "commute their obligation". Others considered exempt included telegraph operators, skilled workers in gun factories, engineers and firemen on the railroads, and ministers; however, many of these men may have volunteered.
