Canadian That Fight For America I

This list is a revision, expansion, and (I hope) an improvement upon the previous lists that I have compiled. My intention is to list every Canadian who served in the Civil War for whom there is some sort of documentation. Unfortunately, much of the relevant materials is not readily available, and therefore this list will never be an accurate reflection of the number of Canadians who served in the war. Nevertheless, I hope that the list will bring more attention to the role that these men played and, hopefully, assist some genealogically-minded people in tracking down a long lost ancestor. Please keep in mind that the list is currently a "work in progress". I have pieced much of it together from other lists that I have previously compiled, using different formats. I hope to have this lack of uniformity rectified as soon as possible.

Law, James nativity: not stated; units(s): First Infantry, Louisiana Guard Battery--James Law resided in Hamilton, Canada prior to leaving for the United States in the summer of 1860. He eventually settled in New Orleans, and upon the breaking out of war, joined the Louisiana Guard Company of the First Infantry. This company was a short time later reorganized as an artillery battery. James Law was present on all rolls until February 1862. For March and April, he is listed as "Absent, under arrest by Civil Process in Suffolk, Va. Claims exemption, British Subject." It is still unclear what became of this, although it appears that he may have continued serving with the unit until the end of 1862, when he returned to Hamilton. Shortly after arriving home, he became ill and died. [8] [HS]
