They could hire someone to take their place. It was not uncommon during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War for individuals to hire replacements to serve part or all of their obligation. Most states and counties were given quotas, and if they weren't filled with volunteers, there would be a draft. In some cases people would contribute money to bounty founds to encourage people to volunteer so that a draft could be avoided.
