Here is a brief summary. Initially, in the Civil War, Staten Island provided more men than required, and its people banded together to provide for the soldiers and their families. However, tensions rose, the $300 exemption frayed nerves, and the draft riots occurred. Support wavered, and, as Morris notes: "The Supervisors authorized the County Treasurer to raise fifty-thousand dollars, by the issue of county bonds, "to be appropriated as might be necessary in providing for those who might be drafted and were not able to pay the exemption fee of three hundred dollars, under the Conscription Act which it was expected, would be enforced in the First Senatorial district." " In August of 1863, the expected draft was called. Richmond County, part of the First Congressional District, was required to furnish 594 men. There were 2,205 ballots deposited in the wheel - presumably men eligible for the draft. Morris calls this number "enrollment" and breaks it down as: Eligible Castleton: 559 Southfield: 463 Northfield: 444 Westfield: 438 Middletown: 301 This is NOT a record of who served. This was a month following the draft riots. Morris quotes an unnamed "writer of the time" as mentioning "the obnoxious clause in the conscription act, which promised exemption to all drafter men who should pay three hundred dollars." Morris further states that "This draft, so far as gaining men for the service was concerned, amounted to very little. A majority took advantage of the three hundred dollar clause. The five hundred and ninety-four men, called for in the quota, were accounted for as follows: Seventy-four were aliens; ten furnished substitutes; ninety-four were exempt for physical disability; one hundred and three were exempt for other causes; one hundred and sixty-two commuted, and one hundred and fifty failed to report." So take this list more as a directory than a military enrollment. Transcriber's notes I standardized the place names as they were (/appeared to be) spelled at the time. I did NOT standardize people's names. I left every one exactly as found.
