The Descendants of John Heywood

Biography of Charles T. Heywood

From History of Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire from 1752 to 1887
by Rev. John F. Norton

Charles T. Heywood enlisted in the Sixteenth Regiment N.H. Volunteers, Co. F, a company of men for nine months, with bounties of $100 each. Twenty-one men mustered into service October 23, 1862. This unit was sent to New Orleans, LA, and after having been encamped at various places was ordered into the lowlands, that were full of malaria, where nearly all were sick and many died. Eleven only reached home, and of these two died at a later period. The history of these men is a sad one, but they were loyal, and did their duty under the most trying circumstances.
