The 35th Kentucky Mounted Infantry was organized on the 26th day of September, 1863, at Owensboro, Kentucky, under Colonel E.A. Starling and mustered into the United States service on the 2nd day of October 1863. This Regiment was recruited under the most difficult circumstances; the State, at that time, being overrun with guerrillas, making it exceedingly hazardous for officers to recruit and retain their men in camp. It mustered out on December 29th, 1864 at Louisville, Kentucky.<ref>Kentucky.

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.
