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.

Brief History[edit | edit source]

"This company was being mustered into service at Nashville, Tennessee, on February 5, 1862, but was ordered away before the muster was completed.  It was probably assigned to the 54th Tennessee Infantry Regiment, as it was accepted by the same Confederate states mustering officer, at the same time and place as other companies known to have been assigned to the 54th Infantry Regiment.  It was perhaps Company "D", or Company "f", of that regiment which are not identified.  The 54th Regiment was merged into the 48th (Nixon's) Tennessee Infantry Regiment in April, 1862, and no subsequent service of Tackitt's Company has been identified."  [1]

"Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. contains no history for this unit.[2]


Other Sources[edit | edit source]

  • Beginning United States Civil War Research gives steps for finding information about a Civil War soldier or sailor. It covers the major records that should be used. Additional records are described in 'Tennessee in the Civil War' and 'United States Civil War, 1861 to 1865' (see below).
  • National Park Service, The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System, is searchable by soldier's name and state. It contains basic facts about soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, a list of regiments, descriptions of significant battles, sources of the information, and suggestions for where to find additional information.
  • Tennessee in the Civil War describes many Confederate and Union sources, specifically for Tennessee, and how to find them.. These include compiled service records, pension records, rosters, cemetery records, Internet databases, published books, etc.
  • United States Civil War, 1861 to 1865 describes and explains United States and Confederate States records, rather than state records, and how to find them. These include veterans’ censuses, compiled service records, pension records, rosters, cemetery records, Internet databases, published books, etc.
