Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 2nd Battalion, Maryland Infantry was often called 1st or 2nd Battalion, formerly the 1st Infantry Battalion, and was organized at Winchester, Virginia in September, 1862. In May, 1864, it surrendered. [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.
