SUPPLEMENTRY WAR SKETCH from the GAR Post #66 Book

"Jeremiah Marden & his son Henry were born in the town of Epsom and were soldiers in the civil war from 1861 to 1866 They moved to the west sometime before the rebellion broke out and were following the pursuits of farming, and when the President called for Volunteers to defend the old flag and save the country, they Volunteered their services. It is impossible to ascertain the dates of there birth or the dates of their enlistments. They both served in the Western regiment and it was the wish of relatives in Epsom that their names be inscribed in this book as the sons of Epsom who did their part in helping defend the Stars and Stripes to perpetuate the Union."

Jeremiah Gorden Marden was the son of William Marden and Margaret Bickford, born about 1816. He married Nancy W. Marden, daughter of Woodbury Marden. He and his wife were dismissed from Epsom Church Mar. 26, 1858 to move to Sextonville, Wisconsin. Their son Henry was born about 1842 and married Elsie Ann Burnham, September 13, 1861 in Wisconsin.
