Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 39th Regiment, New York Infantry was organized at New York City and left State for Washington, D. C., May 28, 1861. The regiment mustered in June 6 to date from May 28. It mustered out July 1, 1865.^[1]

Companies A, B, C and D were mustered out in New York city June 24, 1864, those not entitled to be discharged having previously been transferred to other companies; and the regiment, six companies, E, F, G, H, I and K, retained in service. In October, 1864, a new Company D, enlisted principally at Malone for one year, joined the regiment; June 2, 1865, the members of the regiment not to be mustered out with it were transferred to the 185th Infantry.

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.

This regiment was organized and recruited in New York City.

Company A - recruited principally from New York City

Company B - recruited principally from New York City

Company C - recruited principally from New York City

Company D - recruited principally from New York City

Company F - recruited principally in the field

Company G - recruited principally in the field

Company H - recruited principally in the field

Company I - recruited principally in the field

Company K - recruited principally in the field

Three companies consisted of Germans, three of Hungarians, one of Swiss, one of Italians, one of Frenchmen, and one of Spaniards and Portuguese. May 31, 1863, the regiment was consolidated into four companies: A, B, C and D; new companies were organized in the field from recruits: E December 8; F December 14; G December 19; H December 30, 1863; I and K in January, 1864.
