350 History of Hingham. 



Numerous meetings of citizens were held in aid of recruiting by 

 the town during the summer, and on August 15, at a town meet- 

 ing, it was voted to give one hundred dollars in addition to the 

 sum previously voted to be paid to volunteers for three years on 

 the first quota ; and at a meeting of the town on the 29th of the 

 month the amount of bounty to be paid for each volunteer upon 

 the second quota was increased fifty dollars. 



In the autumn of 1862, two companies of " Home Guards " 

 were formed ; they paraded as a battalion on the 22d of October, 

 and a second parade took place November 1. 



During the summer of 1802 the Government had called for 

 three hundred thousand nine-months men, in addition to those 

 already required for three years' service. On the quota for nine 

 months, Hingham was required to furnish eighty-three men. Many 

 of these were at the time borrowed from Plymouth, Middleborough, 

 and Quincy, but were soon afterwards returned. The following
