Based on some pure speculation, I am guessing the 1st Congressional District. That was the district that Fairfield was in during that period. The representative from the 1st district was James Falconer Wilson who died in Fairfield in 1895 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery.

( I imagine they would be the same.) Draft records for the Civil War were kept by Congressional District. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
