Re: Civil War Draft Substitutes

The problem is that John Guth didn't register for the draft but apparently paid for a substitute to serve. This information has been handed down as oral history. It is also said that he furnished the young man with a rifle and other gear. I was hoping that there was some sort of registry showing who substituted for whom. Thank you for your help.
