No Civil War battles took place within the state boundaries of New Jersey, but its citizens participated extensively in the war. Volunteers that were turned away ended up serving in the militias of nearby states like Pennsylvania and New York. Whenever President Lincoln requested more troops, New Jersey responded quickly. In total, the state contributed over 88,000 soldiers (6,000 of which died).
Name Meaning
English: occupational name for a cowherd, Middle English couh(i)erde, couhirde, couhurde (Old English cūhyrde). The surname has nothing to do with the modern English word coward, which is from Old French cuard, a pejorative term from coue ‘tail’ (from Latin cauda) with reference to an animal with its tail between its legs.
