Darius Hadley was born in 1836. Hadley appears in the 1860 federal census for Bovina enumerated with Jonathan Adee. He enlisted in the 8th NY Volunteers Artillery in October 1861 and was discharged on February 14, 1863 at a convalescent camp in Virginia after he was wounded in the right foot. After his discharge, he came back to Bovina to live with his mother Elizabeth and filed a pension claim as an invalid in January 1865. Not long after this, he married and settled in the Town of Colchester where he remained the rest of his life. By 1900, he and his wife Priscilla were living with their son. Darius died in the fall of 1904 and is buried in Downsville, NY. His widow filed a pension claim in November 1904.
Robert Halsted was born in Bovina in October 1842 in Bovina, the son of James and Phebe Halsted. Enlisting in August 1862 in the 144th New York Volunteers as a private, he was paid a bounty of $150. Robert was discharged on July 12, 1865. Halsted survived the war by less than a decade, dying in February 1874. He is buried in Bovina.
Henry Hogaboom was born in the town of Rockland in Sullivan County in 1836. By 1850, he was living in Bovina with his widowed mother, Elizabeth. Henry enlisted in August 1864, joining the 144th NY Volunteers as a private. He mustered out with his company on June 25, 1865 and returned to Bovina, living there at least through 1890. That year, he was living in Lake Delaware and reported a 'general disability' due to an 'injury in service which is not overcome.' By 1910, Henry had moved to Ohio and was living in the National Military Home in Jefferson, Ohio, near Dayton. Dying there in February 1921, his body was brought back to Bovina for burial.
John R. Hoy was born in Washington County, NY in 1831, the son of James Hoy and Elizabeth Robertson. By 1850, the family was living in Bovina. John married Isabella Wilson Miller in 1854 and they settled in Bovina as farmers. Active in his community, when he enlisted in the 144th New York Volunteers in September 1864, he was the tax collector for Bovina. Because of his absence, the town in December had to appoint Joseph Raitt to fill the position. John mustered out with his company on June 25, 1865 in Hilton Head, SC. On his return to Bovina, he continued serving his town, becoming the commissioner of highways. John and Isabella Hoy had eight children, including David Fletcher Hoy, the man to whom we are indebted for his research into Bovina families. John and Isabella's daughter Margaret Jane was married to Douglass Davidson. Margaret Jane is the mother of H. Fletcher Davidson and Vera Davidson Storie. John R. Hoy died September 1901 and is buried in Bovina.
Edward Kennedy, also sometimes listed as Kenneday, was living in Bovina in the 1890s. Otherwise, little is known about where he lived. Born in Tyrone, Ireland in 1838, he enlisted in April 1862 in New York City in the 4th New York Volunteers. He mustered out in May 1863 and in December that same year re-enlisted in the 16th New York Heavy Artillery. On February 1, 1865, he deserted his unit while in New York City. Apparently, he was never punished for it - it appears he was collecting a pension in 1890 for his service in the 4th New York Volunteers. He is on the 1890 military census for Bovina, listing his post office in 1890 as Lake Delaware. No further information on Kennedy has been located.
Louis Knapp's time in Bovina was relatively brief. He was born in Dutchess County in 1830 (though another source says Delaware County). At the start of the war he was living in Hamden but by the time he enlisted in February 1864, he had been widowed and was living in Bovina as a boarder of Walter D. Miller. Knapp joined the 144th and was mustered out with his company on June 25, 1865. He settled in the Shavertown area after the war and at some point remarried. He filed a pension claim in 1890 and died around 1898 in Dunraven.
