Brief History[edit | edit source]

The 14th Regiment, Michigan Infantry was organized at Ypsilanti and Detroit, Michigan on January 7 to February 18, 1862. It was mustered in February 13, 1862. The Regiment was mustered out July 18, 1865 at Louiville, Kentucky. It was disbanded July 29, 1865 at Detroit Michigan. [1]

For a history of this regiment see Michigan in the Civil War Website which gives a brief history, places served, battles fought, commanders and company rosters.

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.

Company A - Many men from Saginaw County - see Roster
Company B - Many men from Calhoun County and Wayne County - see Roster
Company C - Many men from Wayne County - see Roster
Company D - Many men from Shiawassee County and Ingham County - see Roster
Company E - Many men from Shiawassee County and Ingham County - see Roster
Company F - Many men from Ottowa County and Kent County- see Roster
Company G - Many men from Wayne County and Macomb County- see Roster
Company H - Many men from Wayne County and Washtenaw County- see Roster
Company I - Many men from Lapeer County and [[]] - see Roster
Company K - Many men from Shiawassee County and Clinton County - see Roster
