Edwin Dunton, Company K, 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Entered the service June 3rd, 1861, for 3 years; discharged.³⁷

Eugene D. Dunton - Lieutenant, Adjutant, 95th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers  Killed at the Storming of St. Marye’s Heights (Near Fredericksburg) Virginia, May 3rd, 1863.

Joseph W. Dunton - Discharged on Surgeon's certificate, infection of the eyes, July 21, 1861. Dunton, 20, was a farmer from Avoca, N. Y., employed near Columbus at time of enlistment. Thomson-Rauch does not list this man. Bates gives his date of muster into service as Aug. 14, 1861. Apparently, after Dunton's medical discharge, he re-enlisted on that date in the Raftsmen's Guard (by then Co. D, 1st Rifles) and was again medically discharged, Sept. 19, 1861.³⁰

Stephen B. Dunton - Discharged on Surgeon's certificate, "consumptive tendency with general debility," Aug. 5, 1861. Dunton, 24, was a farmer and wagon maker from Avoca, N. Y., who enlisted in Columbus. The 1860 Census of Warren Co. finds him in the borough of Columbus working as a cleric and living in the household of Henry Saggs, merchant. Thomson­Rauch, confusing his service record with that of Joseph W. Dunton, musters him into the Raftsmen's Guard Aug. 14, 1861 ; Bates omits Stephen B. Dunton. This man who was unfit for soldiering lived to a great old age in Penn Yan, N. Y., probably outliving every other Raftsman. He died in 1934, only three years short of his hundredth birthday.³⁰
