I'm entering the enlistments of Co.H, 9th Regt. now and so far I have 48 "bootmakers" mentioned as their occupations. One clerk, a wagoner and that's it. The names are Irish and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with that part of Worcester Co.'s history as to a name of the Boot/shoe manufacturer? Being half Irish and my Dad's people may have worked there at one time. This is in the 1861 time period. Thank you.
