United States U.S. Military Michigan Michigan Military Michigan in the Civil War Chadwick's Company, Michigan Engineers

Brief History[edit | edit source]

Chadwick's Company, Michigan Engineers was formed at Marshall, Michigan on November 1, 1861. The men took the oath of alligiance to the United States on November 3, 1861 and were mustered out and disbanded 30 days later at Detroit, Michigan. ^[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.

Enlisted men in this company were from Marshall, Calhoun County, Michigan - see Roster
