=== Companies | === Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin === | ||
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first. | Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always.

<br>One man was to be obtained from every ward and town of the State; this plan was not adhered to, but later more than one enlistment was allowed to each. Albany County and Erie County furnished each two companies, and Herkimer County one company. Individually, the men reported at Albany, where the regiment was organized. <br> | <br>One man was to be obtained from every ward and town of the State; this plan was not adhered to, but later more than one enlistment was allowed to each.
