He entered the service as a substitute for one Jonah WOOD, who had been drafted. This Jonah WOOD was a near neighbor of the applicant at the time." He further states that on the Spring following his discharge, he enlisted as a marine. He mentions a cousin Timothy LOCKWOOD who was discharged at the same time.
