Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 49th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry organized in December, 1861, at Fort Donelson, Tennessee. The regiment lost seventy-one percent of the 129 engaged at Franklin and only a remnant ended the war in North Carolina. [1]

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]

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.

   The information above is from The Goodspeed Histories, Vol. 7.

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database lists 1,623 men on its roster for this unit. Roster.
