The 5th Regiment | The 5th Regiment consisted of the companies of men who enlisted from [[Brown County, Kansas|Brown]] [[Clay County, Kansas|Clay]], [[Chase_County,_Kansas|Chase]], [[Geary County, Kansas|Geary]], [[Dickinson County, Kansas|Dickinson]], [[Saline County, Kansas|Saline]], [[Ottawa County, Kansas|Ottawa]], [[Anderson County, Kansas|Anderson]], [[Allen County, Kansas|Allen]], [[Neosho County, Kansas|Neosho]], [[Wilson County, Kansas|Wilson]], [[Woodson County, Kansas|Woodson]] and [[Coffey County, Kansas|Coffey]] counties. 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. <br> | ||
