I was looking at the Civil War Draft registration records of 1863

... and found my family member. What concerns me is that the first 8 names on the page have no age, or place of birth. They are listed as laborer,with two letters in script behind it, which I am unsure of  ZU?The recorder used ditto marks to record their color and profession.  I looked at numerours other pages inthis book trying to see if there were others recorded the same, and did not see any. I thougth perhaps they  had been recorded on another page, so info was not included, but as I checked the other "C" pages  I could find no other mention of them. Any ideas? My gr gr grandfather was the only son of a widow...so he would have been  exempt according to  the enrollment act . I can't find him on any muster rolls as actively serving...so I am thinking that they recorded this info in such a way to indicate this. How they knew to group these 8 men together on the top of the page together, I can only guess. They are all recorded as living in the same township and when they totaled the men at the end of the page, they were counted in.
