Civil War Soldiers
Who Died in Service in the Civil War
from Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts
These Civil War Soldiers
names and death record information was found in the 1867 Plymouth County
Directory. The directory does not say what the source of these
records is, and while they are not official records of Civil War soldier
deaths, they can provide a place to start looking.

Massachusetts regiment was mainly composed of men from this town. Also a
