Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the parishes 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 parish first. Because these are regimental units, the men were gathered from many parish areas. Click on the links below to see the parishes where many men came from in the respective regiments. <br> | Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the parishes where they lived though not always.
