Frederick Wkittaker, author of the article on the Civil War in Scharfs History, after giving the particulars of the organization of the Port Chester company (he docs not mention the Yonkers company), says: The Town of Cortlandt, almost at the same time, sent out sixty men, raised by Mr. Benjamin R. Simpkins. For the want of the money that kept the Port Chester company together, tins tine body of young men became lost in the great City of New York, and drifted into different regiments, so that not a man of the sixty was ever credited to the county, and not a few of them returned home. Another party of sixteen went off to White Plains, under the command of Mr. William M. Bleakly, of Verplanck's Point. On the roll of Company A, 27th Regiment, they appear as credited to Elmira, of all places in the world. Mr. Bleakly afterwards became Captain Bleakly in the 27th, and was discharged in February, 18G2. The company of Mr. Joseph J. Chambers is another instance of the same state of affairs; for, though the men undoubtedly hailed from White Plains, they are likewise credited to Elmira, being made lieutenant-colonel on the 21st of May. Yorktown also lost a great their°captain number of men in the same way, no mention of them being found in the official records of the two years' volunteers; and of other towns there is still less trace in any documents by which whole history of the two years' volunteers, official proof can be furnished of the facts. Thetheir services on the government, which seemed in Westchester County, is one of men pressing months of April and May, 1861, to get into the in trouble, more cost it and them; want not to the army at all than it afterwards did to get out of the draft.
