At a town meeting held March 9, 1863, the sum of $9000 was 

 placed at the disposal of the Selectmen for the payment of State 

 aid to the families of volunteers ; it was also voted to raise 8800 

 as town aid to the families of volunteers. 



Aug. 14 the town voted that $15000 be raised by the Town and 

 appropriated for the aid of the wives, children, parents, brothers, 

 and sisters of such as might.be drafted into the service. 



During this year numerous war meetings were held by the 

 citizens for the purpose of encouraging enlistments, and strenuous 

 efforts were also made to procure recruits in order to avoid the 

 necessity of a draft being enforced in the town. 



These proved unavailing, however, and on July 20 a number 

 of names were drawn at Taunton for the purpose of supplying 

 the only deficiency that ever occurred in any of Hingham's 

 quotas. So far as is known, only William K. Gould, Sewall 

 Pugsley, and Don Pedro Wilson ever joined the army under the 

 requisition, while fifteen others obtained exemption by the pay- 

 ment of the sum required by law for commutation. 



Sewall Pugsley and Don Pedro Wilson never returned to the 

 homes which they loved, both laying down their lives in the 

 country's service. 



The names of the men enlisting for three years in 1863 are — 



Eleventh Regiment. 

 Wallace Thomas, Co. K.
