DEDICATION
THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THOSE MEN WHOSE NAMES ARE LISTED HEREIN. THESE MEN, IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ANDOVER, NEW YORK. EITHER THEY LIVED IN
ANDOVER BEFORE OR AFTER THE WAR, WERE MEMBERS OF THE "GAR" POST OR ARE BURIED HERE.
IN MY RESEARCH I READ THAT NO TOWN IN ALLEGANY COUNTY FURNISHED MORE MEN IN PROPORTION TO ITS POPULATION, FOR THE UNION ARMY, THAN ANDOVER. ALSO NO BRAVER NOR MORE FIERCE
FIGHTER EXISTED THAN THOSE FROM ALLEGANY COUNTY, PARTICULARLY THE MEMBERS OF THE 85TH INFANTRY. OF THE 378 DEATHS OF THIS UNIT, 245 DIED WHILE IN ENEMY PRISONS. SO TO THOSE BRAVE MEN WHO FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR, THOUGH THEIR GUNS AND VOICES ARE FOREVER SILENCED, MAY WE NEVER FORGET THEM.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to thank the following people for all of their help and information given to me throughout this project:
Mr. Robert A. Baker - for the use of the GAR list and the State Archives Papers and additional information and pictures.
Miss Margaret Wood - Andover Historian, for her hours of work gathering information and pictures for me.
Mr. John (Jack) Parker - from Belfast, for sharing his information on Cemeteries and burial sites of Civil War Veterans.
Mr. Francis Cable - for the years spent making sure flags were placed on Veterans graves and the list kept on each cemetery.
Mrs. Daphne Brownell - who compiled a series of genealogies on the people of Andover.
The Andover Free Library and the Alfred State College and the wonderful staff for the use of their helpful information.
Fred Kelley - for lending a hand in putting this book together.
Mrs. Marcia Bond - for sharing her information on the different Regiments from New York State.
To my wife Sheila - who had to look at papers every day, all over the place, and who spent many hours helping me find unmarked graves.
To Allegany County Clerk, Robert Christman for sharing the New York State 1865 Census of Allegany County.
THANK YOU ALL EVER SO MUCH
This Project started while putting American Flags on Veteran's graves
during Memorial Day. It was noticed that most of the tombstones on the Civil
War Veterans graves were in very bad condition. In order to get new stones I
had to provide the government with information proving that these deceased
men were actually in the Civil War.
I started with about 70 names taken from a list of cemetery records kept
by Francis Cable. After all of my searching, I ended with over 295 names of men
who had lived in Andover at one time or another. I have tried to fill in as much
information as possible on each veteran. Some of these people never came back
from the war and were buried on the battlefield. Some moved to different areas
of the United States, never coming back to this area, so their histories are
incomplete.
I hope this book will help you some way. Thank You!

The following list was taken from the Description Book of The Edward Seaman Records, Number 481 Grand Army of the Republic
Record published by the U.S. Government. It shows that 142 men returned from the Call to Service from the Town of Andover. The remainder probably moved here after the war or lived in nearby Towns, but belonged to the Edward Seaman Post. Only 72 are listed as members of GAR in 1889.
