Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 5th Battalion, Florida Calvary (Confederate) (section) was organized during the summer of 1863 with eight companies. The unit surrendered at Tallahassee on May 10, 1865.[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.
