Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 44th Regiment, New York Infantry was organized at Albany, N. Y., and mustered in August 30, 1861. The regiment mustered out October 11, 1864.[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.
One man was to be obtained from every ward and town of the State; this plan was not adhered to, but later more than one enlistment was allowed to each. Albany County and Erie County furnished each two companies, and Herkimer County one company. Individually, the men reported at Albany, where the regiment was organized.
