Note: There is an internet site about Canadian soldiers who served in the Civil War that lists William Griffis, Levi Hurd, Michael Slack, Lorenzo Smith, Luke Waldron, and Alonzo Weed as being born in Canada. I have notified the site that only their WIVES were born in Canada; perhaps because the goal seems to be to prove that something like 50,000 Canadians served it doesn’t get corrected.
This list contains a few men who may have been in the 17th only by clerical error, and a few others who should be included may have been missed.
