Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 15th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry was assembled at Oxford, Mississippi, in February, 1864. In 1865, the regiment was ordered to Alabama where it surrendered in May. The 20th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Russell's) was known and mustered in the field as the 15th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry. [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.
See The 20th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Russell's).
The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database lists 2,322 men on its roster for this unit. [1].
