Brief History[edit | edit source]
The organization of the 4th Regiment, Kansas Infantry was not completed. It was consolidated with 3rd Kansas Infantry to form 10th Kansas Infantry April 3, 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.
Other Sources[edit | edit source]
