Brief History[edit | edit source]
The Baltimore Light Infantry, Maryland was organized at Baltimore November and December, 1861. It was transferred to 3rd Maryland Infantry May 24, 1862[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.
- Commission Officer - see Roster Page 820
