Notes:

1.    'GAR' in the Notes column signifies that the headstone is marked with Grand Army of the Republic flag holder.

2.    Removed

3.    VFW report & my initial headstone survey show a James C. Watson in both Fairview & Canterbury Road Cemeteries. Everlastings (14) finds him in Canterbury Road.

4.    Ages listed in Source 6 for members of the 15th NHVI are as of the mustering-out date of 11/12/1863.  Typically the the age at the time of enlistment, as found in Source 10, is used here.

5. Eben R. Richardson, while at home on furlough, just prior to the regiment's departure for the front, lost 1 or 2 of his toes by some "means not explained" on account of which injury he was discharged in Concord, March 27, 1863, not having left the state.

6. 15th NHVI, Co. D. note: "After six or eight days at the barracks (enlisting, drawing uniforms, electing leaders) all were furloughed home for a week. On the Sunday of 12 October, when at home, the Northwood boys buried, with military honors, Lieut. Charles W. Bean of the 5th N.H. Volunteers, who a few days before had returned from the front to die of wounds received at Antietam on the 17th of September previous."  Lt. Bean's rise through the ranks in the 5th N.H. Volunteers is mentioned in My Brave Boys (Source 15).

Abbreviations

I've tried to standardize the abbreviations on those used in source 10, except where tombstone inscriptions may differ. I've often combined b (born), Res. (resident) and cred. (credited to (town)) into some combination of "b. Res. & cred" where the town in all cases is Northwood.
